Pokemon TCG Pocket rarest cards & pull rates

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available for download on iOS and Android devices on October 30, 2024, and allows you to collect rare cards and display your one-of-a-kind pulls. Unlike Pokemon TCG Live, Pokemon TCG Pocket aims to collect instead of play, providing an exciting chase to find rare cards (common to Ultra Rare), from common cards to the uber-rare Gold Crown cards.

So, how hard is it to pull the Chase cards? And where can you find them? For our list of the rarest cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket, we have covered the high pull rates for the highly coveted Gold Crown cards and the rarer Three-Star and Two-Star cards.

This guide will only count cards with a pull rate lower than 1%. For instance, if we consider the One-Star Squirtle, while it pulls 0.321% in a card and each pack has a 2.5% chance of any One-Star rarity,

Gold Crown Card Pull Rates

In Pokemon TCG Pocket, there is the highest degree of rarity, called Gold Crown Cards. However, that pull rate is so low on these ultra rares that it will be exceedingly rare for you to find them. If you are hunting for these cards, here’s what you need to know:

• Pull Rate for Fourth Card Slot: 0.040%
• Pull Rate for Fifth Card Slot: 0.16%

These Gold Crown cards represent the top-tier prizes from the Genetic Apex packs, and they can be found in any of the three-pack arts: Mewtwo, Charizard, and Pikachu.

Three-Star Rarity Pull Rates

Three Star Rarity cards are the next rarest cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Pulling these is still pretty hard, but they have a somewhat higher pull rate than Gold Crown cards.

• Pull Rates: Not available separately. Available in packs with their respective artwork. For example:
  • Pikachu EX can only be found in Pikachu packs.
  • Like many of their pack types, other Three-Star cards are exclusive to their pack types.

However, the Gold Crown cards are highly sought after but aren’t as hard to get as the cards. For example, these cards.

Two-Star Rarity Pull Rates

While it’s not as hard to get as the Three Star and Gold Crown cards, the Two Star cards are still pretty rare. These cards are more common, but they are not easy to pull either, with pull rates as follows:

• Pull Rate for Fourth Card Slot: 0.500%
• Pull Rate for Fifth Card Slot: 2%

Total Art Trainer cards and some Pokemon have two different arts that fall under the Two-Star category, with visuals and being very collectible.

Flair Requirements

Need a little extra fun on your cards? Flair is a visual effect that will breathe color and life into your cards, which will look fancy in the album or the battle. To unlock Flair, you have to have duplicate cards with Shinedust.

This is just like a good layer of coatings making your collection stand out a little more, another layer of excitement in the quest for the rare card.

Unlocking Rental Decks

Rental Decks are great for adding extra decks early in the game. Players must collect or unlock the deck’s core card(s) to unlock a Rental Deck. They’re good for beating NPCs and are perfect for events like the current Lapras EX promotion.

• Total Rental Decks Available: 12
• Restrictions: Rental Decks are only good for limited usage, expire, and can not be played against other players in a match.
• Variants Count: For any variant of a card that has multiples (full art, standard ex, immersive, etc.), they will count towards the process of unlocking the card.
