The rainbow foil cards are rarest, then the foil cards.
The foil cards are the rarest, so if you get Oddie as a foil card, it is rare.
'Gold' Rare cards are the gold-tinted foil cards from the four Gold Series sets.
Not necessarily. You get at least one foil card in every pack, and many promotional sets will have a shiny card in. Some cards are both rare and in foil, but foilness alone doesn't imply rarity.
The 2013 variety of the cards now have holographic foil backings applied to the rare cards.
Foil cards are Shiny and mostly rare cards that are featured on the front of a deck or tin in stores and are the prime monsters that you get in the packs and stuff like road warrior for the starter deck or stardust dragon for the yusei tin or whatever.
turn the 10 cards around and take three cards and then take two and put the three cards where the two cards were.
In a tin it is filled with foil packs. The cards recieved are completely random. In the foil packets, the last 3 cards are Uncommon. The first 6 are common. A shiny may be mixed into one of those. The remaining card is rare.
While there are 'rare' football cards, not all football cards are rare.
Every Booster Pack contains its own rare Pokemon Cards that are original to the Booster Pack, so every Booster Pack contains rare cards. *edit* If you're lucky, your reverse holo (or what some people call "shiny") card might also be a rare, so you can get one or two rares in one pack.
it's not rare at all
The cards have 1st edition written on the left hand corner under the picture. The name is different colors. The picture is foil. It might say limited edition(there is no rarer version for limited edition cards).
