The Rarest Cards to Date

Sure, here goes nothing. So, I’ve been diving into this game, Pokemon TCG Pocket—yeah, it’s one of those free-to-play deals where you open booster packs daily, collect a gazillion cards, and try to build that killer deck. You know the type. It’s a big draw for fans, but let’s not kid ourselves—it’s a gacha game. And yeah, collecting all those shiny cards? Way tougher than it looks. Picking the rarest card? Good luck with that. There are just too many options.

Alright, let’s break it down. You’ve got your odds of snagging a card in a booster pack—basic probability stuff. Then there’s card availability—like, can you get it outside the booster packs too? So, at the moment, there are like 13 ultra-rare cards, but this number does its own dance every time a new set drops. Anyway, that’s supposed to happen in, what, late July? So, watch this space.

Now, talking about the juiciest cards—those Crown Gold rares are at the top of the pile. They’re the crème de la crème in every expansion. Then you’ve got Immersive rares, Rainbow rares… the whole gang. Jumping to Eevee Grove, here’s what we’ve got:

– Genetic Apex has Charizard Ex, Pikachu Ex, Mewtwo Ex. Insanely rare, with like a 0.013% chance to nab ’em (nope, not making that up).
– Mythical Island features Mew Ex—slightly less elusive.
– Space-Time Smackdown—Dialga Ex and Palkia Ex join the party.
– And there’s more—Arceus, Poke Ball, Lunala—you get the gist.

Oh, and there’s this funky thing—God Packs. If you land the right booster, you’ve got a 5% chance every time you open a slot for something mad like Charizard Ex. And those odds feel like striking the lottery.

But, here’s where it gets murky. Take Charizard Ex. Been around a while, which kind of makes it the opposite of rare, depending on how many have been out there in the wild. Eevee Bag’s the new kid on the block, so maybe it’s rare? But who knows.

Now, if you really wanna go all conspiracy theorist, some say the rarest card is Lapras Ex. It was like a one-time drop event to kick things off in the game. So, either you were there, or you missed the boat. And Lapras Ex doesn’t hang out in Genetic Apex like the others, making it a total unicorn. But, the folks who snagged it might be missing all those Gold Crown rares, so calling it rare is… tricky.

Anyway, it’s all a bit of a mess. But, doesn’t that make hunting these cards more of an oddball adventure? At least it keeps things spicy.
