Reading symbols on Pokémon cards is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it! Each symbol provides essential information. For example, a circle means the card is common, a diamond indicates it's uncommon, and a star shows it's rare. You'll also see symbols that tell you the card's type, like fire, water, or grass, which are vital for gameplay. Plus, look out for special symbols like a star with an 'H' or 'EX' which mean the card is extra rare. Easy peasy, right?

Honestly, it's not that complicated. People make a big deal out of reading Pokémon card symbols, but once you've seen a few, it's pretty obvious what's rare and what's not.

Just look at the bottom corner of the card, dude. Star = rare, diamond = not so much, circle = common. And the picture tells you the type. That's all you need.
