In Pokémon TCG Pocket, understanding the card rarity system and associated drop rates is essential for collectors and players aiming to build competitive decks. The game features a structured rarity hierarchy, each with specific symbols and drop probabilities.
Card Rarity Levels and Symbols
1◇ (One Diamond): Common cards, typically basic Pokémon or standard Trainer cards.
2◇ (Two Diamonds): Uncommon cards, including stronger basic Pokémon and some Stage 1 evolutions.
3◇ (Three Diamonds): Rare cards, often featuring advanced Stage 1 or Stage 2 Pokémon.
4◇ (Four Diamonds): Double Rare cards, usually powerful Pokémon ex cards with partial full-art designs.
1☆ (One Star): Art Rare cards, showcasing full-art illustrations of Pokémon in dynamic settings.
2☆ (Two Stars): Super Rare cards, including full-art Pokémon ex or Supporter cards with enhanced visual effects.
3☆ (Three Stars): Immersive Rare cards, featuring elaborate art and animations that provide a narrative experience.
🜲 (Crown): Crown Rare cards, the most coveted, featuring gold art versions of iconic Pokémon ex cards.
Booster Pack Composition and Drop Rates
Each booster pack contains five cards, with the first three cards guaranteed to be 1◇ rarity. The fourth and fifth cards have varying probabilities of higher rarities:
Fourth Card
2◇: 90%
3◇: 5%
4◇: 1.666%
1☆: 2.572%
2☆: 0.5%
3☆: 0.222%
🜲: 0.04%
Fifth Card
2◇: 60%
3◇: 20%
4◇: 6.664%
1☆: 10.288%
2☆: 2%
3☆: 0.888%
🜲: 0.16%
These probabilities indicate that higher rarity cards are more likely to appear in the fifth slot of a booster pack.
Rare Packs (God Packs)
There exists a rare type of booster pack, colloquially known as a "God Pack," which contains only cards of 1☆ rarity or higher. The chance of obtaining a God Pack is approximately 0.05% (1 in 2,000 packs). Within a God Pack, the distribution is as follows:
Given the low drop rates for high-rarity cards, players can utilize the following methods to enhance their collections:
Pack Points: Accumulated through opening packs, these points can be exchanged for specific cards in the shop. The number of points required correlates with the card's rarity. For instance, obtaining a Crown Rare card may require substantial saving of Pack Points.
Wonder Pick: This feature allows players to select cards from packs opened by others. While it doesn't guarantee specific cards, it offers a 1 in 5 chance of obtaining a desired card, which is favorable compared to standard pack odds.
Understanding these mechanics enables players to make informed decisions when expanding their collections in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
