● Common (common cards)
Common cards (●) are the most common Pokémon cards.
These cards make up the majority of a collection and help children collect their favorite Pokémon. Although common, they can still be popular with children.
◆ Uncommon (slightly more special cards)
Uncommon cards (◆) are a little harder to find than Common cards.
They are still relatively common but don't appear as often. They are a natural part of any Pokémon collection.
★ Rare (rare cards)
Rare cards (★) are rare Pokémon cards.
They are rarer than Common and Uncommon cards and are therefore often more exciting to find. Many children get especially happy when they open a pack with a Rare card.
✨ Holo & Reverse Holo
Holo and Reverse Holo cards have a shiny surface, which makes them extra beautiful.
A Holo card has a shiny illustration, while a Reverse Holo card has a shiny background. Both types are popular among children and collectors and are often some of the most eye-catching cards.
⭐ EX / V / VMAX / GX
EX, V, VMAX, and GX cards are some of the most popular Pokémon cards.
They often feature large illustrations, stunning effects, and a design that stands out from regular cards. These are often the cards children hope to find, which is why they are among the most sought-after cards in a collection.
