The Rarest Cards to Date

Sure thing, here’s my take on it:

Okay, so let’s dive into this whole Pokemon TCG Pocket thing. First off, imagine a game that’s basically free, right? You’ve got daily booster packs and a gazillion cards to collect. It screams “freebie bonanza,” but you know, it’s still a gacha game deep down. You think getting all the cards is a breeze? Ha! Think again.

Now, figuring out the rarest card? Oh boy. That’s a whole rabbit hole. It’s kind of like trying to pick the best pizza topping – everyone’s got their opinion. But, there are a couple of ways to size this up. First off, what’s the chance you’ll snag a certain card in a booster pack? Those Crown Gold rares? Yeah, they’re like unicorns – super rare. And then there’s the whole, “can-the-average-joe-get-it” angle. Put these together, and bam, you’ve got a list of about 13 mega-rare cards. But hey, who knows, maybe more are coming in July.

Let’s talk Crown Gold rares from booster packs. They’re like the peak of the peak – followed by some Immersive rares, then those funky Rainbow rares. As of now, with Eevee Grove in the mix, here’s what stands out:

1. Crown Gold Charizard Ex – A mythical beast on cardboard.
2. Pikachu Ex – Zap zap, if you catch my drift.
3. Mewtwo Ex – You’d think with his brain power, he’d be easy to snag, right? Nope.

Anyway, when a new expansion drops, the chances to get some particular cards shift, like a dance move that’s hard to predict. For instance, snagging a Crown Gold Charizard in a God Pack is like 5%—that’s like finding a $100 bill on the street!

And then there’s this majestic card called Lapras Ex. Some argue it’s the rarest due to its unique origin story. It popped up early in the game’s lifecycle, and only the OG players own it. No Genetic Apex involved here – pure promo gold.

So yeah, is it Charizard, Pikachu, or the mysterious Lapras? Honestly, it’s like arguing over which came first, the chicken or the egg. But that’s the magic, isn’t it? Who knows which card is truly the rarest—maybe it was in front of us all along.
