What's the Rarest Card in Pokémon TCG Pocket? Genetic Apex Expansion

Is there a bigger flex than having the rarest card in your deck?

Pokémon TCG Pocket launched back in October, satisfying the need of many for a new pocket-sized obsession. The mobile game allows players to pull cards from specific booster packs, build a deck, and battle against opponents, all while filling out their Pokédex. 

But your decks are only as good as the cards you build them with, and given that Pokémon TCG Pocket relies on a lot of chance and luck to get decent pulls, you could be spending a long time trying to get the very best cards.

The Rarest Cards in the Genetic Apex Expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket

To make things a little easier, we've put together a list of the rarest cards you can get in Pokémon TCG Pocket, and which booster packs you'll need to be targeting to get them.

Gold Crown Cards

The rarest cards that you can get your hands on are the Gold Crown cards. There are three of these, representing the cover Pokémon of each Genetic Apex booster pack:

Card Standard Pack Pull Rate Rare Pack Pull Rate God Pack Pull Rate Pack

Charizard EX

0.013% 0.053% 5.0% Any
Mewtwo EX  0.013% 0.053% 5.0%  Any
Pikachu EX  0.013% 0.053% 5.0% Any

Three-Star Cards

The next rarest cards are the Three-Star cards, which also double-up as immersive cards. Like the Gold Crown cards, there are only three of these to nab, representing the cover Pokémon of each Genetic Apex booster pack:

Card Standard Pack Pull Rate Rare Pack Pull Rate God Pack Pull Rate Pack

Charizard EX

0.222% 0.888% 5.0% Genetic Apex: Charizard
Mewtwo EX  0.222%  0.888% 5.0% Genetic Apex: Mewtwo
