Alright, so here’s the breakdown of Pokémon TCG Pocket — a game that kinda screams “freebie heaven” but also nudges you into that treacherous gacha territory. I mean, seriously, it’s like here’s your daily free stuff — yay — but, oh boy, collecting all those cards is a whole other game. And, yeah, there’s this big ol’ pile of rare cards you’ve gotta navigate through.
OK, so how do you figure out which cards are rarest? Well, let’s see. First, chance. Pure luck. It’s all about what pops up in those booster packs. Then there’s the availability factor. Like, can everyone just grab these cards without losing their mind or not?
But anyway — wait, where was I? Right! Rarest cards. So, there are like 13-ish super rare cards right now, though it switches up every time a new set goes live — July holidays, anyone?
Now, when you crack open those booster packs — a little suspense, a dash of excitement, and bam, Crown Gold rares are where it’s at. Top-tier stuff. Then you’ve got the Immersive rares, the Rainbow rares – it’s a whole hierarchy. The crowns are like the MVPs as far as cards go.
Take, I dunno, “Eevee Grove” — sounds cute, right? Well, inside, there’s a list (imagine a drumroll) of ultra-rare cards:
– In the “Genetic Apex” corner — Charizard Ex, Pikachu Ex, Mewtwo Ex. Odds of snagging these? Minimal. Seriously. Like, blink and you’ll miss it.
– “Mythical Island” dishes out Mew Ex.
– And oh, “Space-Time Smackdown” brings you Dialga Ex and Palkia Ex. Names that sound straight outta sci-fi.
Getting any of these is like finding, well, a gold crown in your cereal box.
Speaking of crowns, when there’s a cool pack out there, each pack’s chance to drop a shiny Crown Gold is exclusively just that particular pack’s deal. So, if you’re a Charizard fan, your eyes are on those odds.
Now, detour time: ever heard of promo cards? Lapras Ex maybe rings a bell? It’s this quirky gem from an early game event, so only the oldest players might still have it. What I’m saying is, sometimes the promo story gets a little murky with what’s actually rare in this cardboard world.
Ugh, collecting all of this, honestly, it’s like juggling flaming torches — fun but a bit bonkers. But who’s keeping score, right?
