Rarities in Paradox Rift

Rarity	Cards	What it means
Common	81	The easiest cards to find. Look for a small circle near the card number.
Uncommon	54	A little harder to find. They have a diamond shape near the number.
Rare	27	Marked with a black star. Most packs have at least one rare card.
Double Rare	20	Two black stars. These are usually the big “ex” Pokémon cards.
Ultra Rare	28	Two silver stars. The picture often fills the whole card.
Illustration Rare	34	One gold star. These show a Pokémon in a beautiful scene, like a painting.
Special Illustration Rare	15	Two gold stars. Big, detailed pictures of the most powerful Pokémon and characters — some of the hardest cards to pull.
Hyper Rare	7	Three gold stars. Shiny gold cards, and one of the rarest kinds in a set.

Cards numbered higher than 182 — from 183/182 upwards — are the 84 secret rares.

How to tell a card is from Paradox Rift

Look at the bottom of the card. You'll see a small set symbol and a number out of 182, like 12/182. Newer cards also show a short code: for this set it's PAR.
