{{main|Rarity}}
On the bottom right corner of most cards, there is a small symbol that indicates its '''Rarity''' (how easy it is to find or obtain): [[File:Rarity Common.png]] (Common), [[File:Rarity Uncommon.png]] (Uncommon), [[File:Rarity Rare.png]] (Rare). No symbol usually denotes a card that is part of a {{TCG|Promotional cards|Promotional set}} or a [[#Basic Energy card|Basic Energy card]].

===Rule Box===
===Rule Box===
A term introduced in the {{TCG|Battle Styles}} Expansion, cards with a '''Rule Box''' collectively refer to those that have a text box that says the word "rule", such as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}, {{TCG|Pokémon BREAK}}, {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}}, {{TCG|Prism Star}} cards, {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} cards and {{TCG|Pokémon V}}.

===Resistance===
===Resistance===
If a [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon]] has '''Resistance''' (Japanese: {{tt|抵抗力|ていこうりょく}} ''Resistance'') to a certain type, it means that if it is [[#Attack|Attack]]ed by a Pokémon of that type, it will receive less [[#Damage|Damage]]. While not exceedingly rare, Resistance isn't very common either — most Pokémon don't have any. An example of a Pokémon with Resistance is {{TCG ID|Fossil|Ditto|3}} in the {{TCG|Fossil}} [[#Expansion|Expansion]] set. An example a Pokémon without is {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Grimer|79}} in the {{TCG|Aquapolis}} expansion. The {{TCG|EX Dragon}} expansion introduced some [[Pokémon-ex]] with two different Resistances on the same card, such as {{TCG ID|EX Dragon|Rayquaza ex|97}}. Resistances were initially fixed at -30 damage, meaning the Pokémon would take 30 less damage from an attack. Unlike Weakness, this rule was always printed on the card, either to the left of or above the Resistance-type in the form of "-30". From the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} set to {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, Resistances were always -20 damage (also printed on the cards) unless on a reprint of a [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon card]] that originally had a -30 Resistance. With {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, resistances are now -30 again.
