Boosters offer the chance to acquire cards to strengthen [[Theme Deck]]s, create {{DL|Deck|Constructed Deck|new decks}}, or customize old ones. Boosters contain cards that vary by [[Rarity]] level, representing how likely or unlikely the card may be found in a booster. These Rarity levels include Common ({{rar|Common}}), Uncommon ({{rar|Uncommon}}), and Rare ({{rar|Rare}}) cards, as well as occasionally ''"super rare"'' cards such as {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}}, {{TCG|Pokémon Star}}, {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} or {{TCG|Pokémon LEGEND}}. | '''Booster packs''' are typically packs of 10 cards from an [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansion]] in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
