Rarities in Obsidian Flames

RarityCardsWhat it means
Common92The easiest cards to find. Look for a small circle near the card number.
Uncommon74A little harder to find. They have a diamond shape near the number.
Rare10Marked with a black star. Most packs have at least one rare card.
Double Rare21Two black stars. These are usually the big “ex” Pokémon cards.
Ultra Rare12Two silver stars. The picture often fills the whole card.
Illustration Rare12One gold star. These show a Pokémon in a beautiful scene, like a painting.
Special Illustration Rare6Two gold stars. Big, detailed pictures of the most powerful Pokémon and characters — some of the hardest cards to pull.
Hyper Rare3Three gold stars. Shiny gold cards, and one of the rarest kinds in a set.

Cards numbered higher than 197 — from 198/197 upwards — are the 33 secret rares.

How to tell a card is from Obsidian Flames

Look at the bottom of the card. You'll see a small set symbol and a number out of 197, like 12/197. Newer cards also show a short code: for this set it's OBF.
