How rarity works in Pokémon TCG
In Pokémon TCG, each card has a rarity symbol (circle = Common, diamond = Uncommon, star = Rare, etc.). Modern rarities introduced in Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet add extra tiers such as Illustration Rare (IR), Ultra Rare and Special Illustration Rare (SIR).
The rarer a card is, the lower its pull probability — and the higher its market value tends to be. Our pull rate calculator helps you estimate the average cost to obtain any rare card.
