Certain cards, such as those from certain decks (such as a [[Trainer Kit]] or some Japanese half or quarter decks) do not have a rarity listed on the bottom right corner of the card, and instead have the silhouette of the main Pokémon within the kit (such as the silhouette of Sylveon and Noivern in their respective half decks in the {{TCG|XY Trainer Kit}}). | |||

Common cards are are marked with a circle ({{rar|Common}}), and usually consist of basic, [[Evolution|unevolved]] Pokémon. Most English booster packs contain four to five common cards. | Common cards are are marked with a circle ({{rar|Common}}), and usually consist of basic, [[Evolution|unevolved]] Pokémon.

* Box Toppers | * Box Toppers are holographic cards included within a booster box as a reward for buying the whole box. Although they were Secret cards, they had regular holographic artwork and had a regular rarity of Holo Rare ([[File: Rarity Rare Holo.png]]). | ||
* {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} had the shiny colorations that appeared in the Pokémon games, as well as the odds of encountering one (1/300, similar to in the games). Not only are they outside the set (having a number above the number of cards in the set), they were also the first to have the rarity Shining Holo ([[File: Rarity Shining Holo.png]]) to imitate the shiny sprite from the games ([[File:ShinyIIStars.png]]). Shining Pokémon could use multiple Energy-type attacks, but there could only be one Shining Pokémon per deck. [[Shining Gyarados (Neo Revelation 65)]] and [[Shining Magikarp (Neo Revelation 66)]] were the two first featured, perhaps due to their appearance in the anime and games, and were cosmos holofoils. The second and last set to feature Shining Pokémon was Neo Destiny, but the Pokémon itself (not the whole image) were given reflective foil treatment (to make the Pokémon really seem to 'shine').

* The concept of Shining Pokémon was carried over to {{TCG|Crystal Pokémon}}, which were released in Aquapolis. Crystal Pokémon were all Colorless in type, regardless of their normal type; they had the cosmos holofoil treatment, were Secret Rares (outside the set) as well as having the multi Energy-type attacks, but were not actually alternatively colored as in Shining Pokémon. All Crystal Pokémon have the ''Crystal Type'' Poké-Body, which changes the Pokémon's type to the type of the Energy that is placed onto it if it is one of the three Energy-types that the Pokémon requires in its attacks. Crystal Pokémon appeared in Skyridge, but did not appear in the future. They have a rarity of Holo Rare in English ([[File: Rarity Rare Holo.png]]) and Super Rare in Japanese ([[File: Rarity SuperRare Holo.png]]). | * The concept of Shining Pokémon was carried over to {{TCG|Crystal Pokémon}}, which were released in Aquapolis.
