Double Rare

Double Rare cards carry two black stars. The rarity began with the Scarlet & Violet base set in 2023 and covers the regular-art Pokémon ex in each set, the cards that appear in the main numbered list rather than as full arts.

In the Mega Evolution series, the regular Mega ex cards are Double Rares too. That makes this the rarity where most competitive ex cards first appear, such as Charizard ex from Obsidian Flames and Gengar ex from Temporal Forces.

Double Rares are easier to pull than the full-art cards above them, and their prices usually depend on how much the Pokémon is played or collected. Full-art and gold versions of the same Pokémon are listed under Ultra Rare, Special Illustration Rare and Hyper Rare.
