Pokemon TCG Pocket Rarest Cards: Gengar, Giovanni, and Charizard Gold can be seen

Pokémon TCG Pocket is a mobile card collecting game that makes flexing about rares really easy with a number of social features.

There’s also the Wonder Pick feature which lets you see what your friends have got from their boosters and gives you the chance to randomly pick one of those cards for yourself. The game also offers the occasional “God Pack”, which has several of the rarest cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket, but there is a 0.050 per cent of pulling one of those.

With a number of immersive and animated variants on offer, it can be tough to work out which cards are the rarest which is where this guide comes into play.

Below, we’ve listed the rarest cards currently in the game. You can actually find these rarities in-game on the pack selection screen under “Offering Rates”. This guide will continue to be updated over time, as more cards are released.

By far, the rarest cards are the Gold Crown EX variants of Charizard, Pikachu, and Mewtwo. These are not only gold but feature full art and rainbow flair as well, representing the ultimate prize for any Genetic Apex collector. Functionally, these cards are the same as the regular and full-art EX variants.

The next cards are the Immersive cards, specifically Immersive Mewtwo, Charizard, and Pikachu. These cards have unique visual scenes that you can play that are filled with some of the best artwork in the game. Functionally, these cards are the same as the EX forms of the Pokémon.

Following these EX cards, we have the full art EX cards. These are exactly like the regular EX variants, but they have their own unique art and often look drastically better than the regular ones. The Mewtwo pack includes Venusaur EX, Articuno EX, Gengar EX, Mewtwo EX, and Marowak EX.

Next are the full art Trainer cards. These are incredible pieces of art that expand the images the characters are seen in, within the main cards. As with other full art cards, these work the same as the regular Trainer Supporter cards but are much, much prettier.
