Rarity (レアリティ Reariti) is a rough indicator of how frequently a card appears in booster packs.

The rarity of a card is indicated by the alphabet initials near the collector number. On cards with older card frames used prior to Set 36, the colored bars near the collector number for cards also serve as a general indicator for its rarity, with more colored bars in a card's rarity indicator denoting a higher rarity compared to cards with less colored bars.

The rarity of a card has no effect on the gameplay and only serves for collecting purposes.
