Rarity breakdown

How many of each rarity

Base Set: number of cards at each rarity, from TCGdex
Rarity	Cards	Share of set
Common	38	37%
Rare	32	31%
Uncommon	32	31%

Not sure which symbol is which? The Rarity Symbol Decoder shows what each mark looks like and what it means.

TCGdex’s “Rare” label for this set doesn’t say whether a card is holofoil, so read the Rare count as cards with the rare symbol, not as a holo count.

Regulation marks

Marks in this set

None. Regulation marks started on English cards with Sword & Shield in 2020, after this set.

Whether a mark is legal in Standard play right now is a separate question: check it here.

About the data

Where this list comes from

Card data from TCGdex (tcgdex.dev), an MIT-licensed community database — snapshot September 22, 2026. If anything differs, the card itself is the final word.

Rarity names are TCGdex’s, shown in Title Case (“Double rare” appears as Double Rare).
BS is the abbreviation TCGdex records for this set. It isn't printed on these cards: printed set codes replaced set symbols with Scarlet & Violet in 2023.
Holofoil and non-holo rares share the single “Rare” label here.

tcgdex.dev (opens in a new tab) is a community project, not affiliated with The Pokémon Company.
