 Surely the new change in rarity symbols as of 2023 should be mentioned and reflected in this article? [[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 04:49, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
+== This page should not concern itself with what cards do ==
+So, this page is running through all the mechanics associated with specific rarities, including what those mechanics mean. From an upkeep standpoint, this is untenable. This is what having separate articles is for. This article should handle concepts like drop rate/probability, supply, and where cards can be obtained from, those articles should handle what the cards do. Anything else is multiplying the time it takes to keep things consistent while not offering any advantage. What does this paragraph have to do with how easy or difficult it is to obtain a card?
+:"Tag Team-GX were introduced in Team Up, '''and have three major differences on gameplay compared to normal Pokémon-GX cards. The first is that they are always basic Pokémon, regardless of what stage of evolution the Pokémon shown are in. Second is that their GX attacks gain an additional effect if a certain amount of Energy is attached to them (in addition to the attack's cost). The third major difference is the added TAG TEAM rule, stating that when one is knocked out, your opponent takes three prize cards as opposed to the usual two of normal Pokémon GX.''' ''They have the same Full Art variants as regular Pokémon-GX, and have a second variant which expands on the story behind the Pokémon shown on the card (sometimes found as a promo card instead). Both of these variants are Secret cards in the Japanese releases, however.''"
+Half of this paragraph doesn't explain anything about what the rarity of the card means. This merits a major scrubbing. It really should just say something to the effect of
+:"Tag Team Pokémon-GX were introduced in Team Up. They show two Pokémon working together on one card. ''Like Pokémon-GX, they are also Ultra Rare cards. They also have the same Full Art variants as regular Pokémon-GX, and additionally have a second variant Full Art which expands on the story behind the Pokémon shown on the card (sometimes found as a promo card instead). Both of these variants are Secret cards in the Japanese releases, however.''"
+So much shorter, and if someone does want to know what a Tag Team Pokemon means in terms of gameplay, they can use the handy link at the start. Meaning the information pertinent to the Rarity article, which isn't on the TAG TEAM Pokemon article, would be more prevalent.
