Pokemon TCG Pocket once again has the public going wild for collecting Pokemon cards, and the hunt for the rarest and best cards to build decks with or show off is well underway. While you can tell how rare a card is based on the rarity score it is given — diamonds, stars, or a golden crown — it’s useful to know exactly which cards to look out for.
Pokemon TCG Pocket’s rarest cards are often gold, shiny, and featuring full art, so it’s easy enough to identify if you’ve acquired a good pull or not, but which of those cards is the rarest you can get your hands on? In this guide, we detail Pokemon TCG Pocket’s rarest cards so far.
