Pokemon TCG Pocket: Leaked Rarest Cards & Secret Promos Revealed

What if I told you the rarest cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket aren't just hiding in booster packs, but may be lurking in secret events and limited-time promos? According to my sources—and a swirl of rumors sweeping the community—the chase for the most coveted cards is about to get even more intense. If you thought you knew which cards topped the rarity charts, think again. The landscape is shifting, and only the most vigilant trainers will keep up.

Rumor has it that new sets, hidden drop rates, and exclusive promo events are reshaping what it means to own the rarest cardboard treasures in the game. But which cards are truly the hardest to obtain, and what surprises might the next update hold? Let's dive into the latest leaks, rarity breakdowns, and the whispers that have the Pokemon TCG Pocket community buzzing.

The Anatomy of Rarity: Not All Gold Crowns Are Equal

Pokemon TCG Pocket has always thrived on the thrill of the pull, but recent data leaks and player reports suggest that the odds are even slimmer than many realize. While the game generously doles out daily booster packs and event rewards, the true crown jewels—those Gold Crown rares—remain tantalizingly out of reach for most.

The Current Rarity Hierarchy (According to Leaked Data)

• Crown Gold Rares: The absolute pinnacle of rarity, with pull rates as low as 0.013% in some sets.
• Immersive Rares: Slightly more attainable, but still a dream for most collectors.
• Rainbow Rares: Coveted for their unique art, but statistically more common than Gold Crowns.
• Promo Exclusives: Cards only available through limited-time events or special promotions—sometimes rarer than any pack pull.

The Rarest of the Rare (As of July 2025)

According to internal drop rate tables (and a few well-placed insiders), here are the current top contenders for "rarest card" status:

| Set Name | Crown Gold Card | 4th Slot % | 5th Slot % | God Pack % |
|————————|———————|————|————|————|
| Genetic Apex | Charizard Ex | 0.013% | 0.053% | 5.000% |
| Genetic Apex | Pikachu Ex | 0.013% | 0.053% | 5.000% |
| Genetic Apex | Mewtwo Ex | 0.013% | 0.053% | 5.000% |
| Mythical Island | Mew Ex | 0.040% | 0.160% | 5.555% |
| Space-Time Smackdown | Dialga Ex | 0.020% | 0.080% | 3.846% |
| Space-Time Smackdown | Palkia Ex | 0.020% | 0.080% | 3.846% |
| Triumphant Light | Arceus Ex | 0.040% | 0.160% | 4.761% |
| Shining Revelry | Poke Ball | 0.040% | 0.160% | 2.564% |
| Celestial Guardians | Lunala Ex | 0.020% | 0.080% | 2.380% |
| Celestial Guardians | Solgaleo Ex | 0.020% | 0.080% | 2.380% |
| Extradimensional Crisis| Nihilego | 0.040% | 0.160% | 2.941% |
| Eevee Grove | Eevee Bag | 0.040% | 0.160% | 2.631% |

Note: God Pack rates apply only if you pull the corresponding pack's Gold Crown rare. According to my sources, these rates are subject to change with each new set drop.

The Genetic Apex Conspiracy

Why are Charizard Ex, Pikachu Ex, and Mewtwo Ex so elusive? Insiders suggest it's not just about the odds—it's about legacy. Genetic Apex is the only three-pack set, and its Gold Crowns have the lowest pull rates in the game. Some speculate this is intentional, designed to keep the most iconic Pokemon at the top of the rarity food chain. Others whisper that future events may offer alternate ways to obtain these cards, but for now, they're the ultimate status symbols.

Promo Cards: The True Unicorns?

But here's where things get really interesting. While everyone is chasing Gold Crowns, a select few are quietly holding onto what might be the actual rarest card in the game: Lapras Ex. This card was only available during the very first drop event after launch—a window so narrow that even veteran players missed it. There is no Lapras Ex in Genetic Apex, making this promo a true anomaly.

• Lapras Ex: Only obtainable via a launch event. Never reissued. Some say less than 1% of active players own it.
• Future Promos: Rumor has it that upcoming drop events will introduce new, one-time-only cards. If true, these could instantly dethrone current Gold Crowns in terms of scarcity.

"If you see someone with Lapras Ex in their deck, you're looking at a day-one player—or a time traveler," joked one top-ranked competitor.

What’s Next? Upcoming Sets and Rarity Shake-Ups

According to leaks circulating in private Discord channels, the next set—expected at the end of July—will introduce at least one new Gold Crown rare and possibly a new promo mechanic. Some believe a "Secret Rarity" tier is in the works, with odds so low they're not even disclosed in official tables. Others point to datamined assets hinting at crossover events with other Pokemon games, which could bring exclusive cards never to be seen again.

Key Takeaways for Collectors and Competitors

• Chasing Gold Crowns? Focus on Genetic Apex packs for the lowest odds, but don't neglect newer sets—player ownership rates matter too.
