Generate and collect thousands of cards. Hunt the ultra-rares almost no one will ever own. Every card rolls two independent rarities, so there are 1,000 normal cards and 1,000 holographic Shinies to chase, 2,000 in all. The rarest are rarer than 1 in a million to pull. And every card has a 1 in 50 shot at being Shiny. GENERATE & DISCOVER Create new cards on a timer, then watch each one reveal. The rarity climbs as the card comes into focus, and the rarer it lands, the bigger the moment. HUNT SHINIES Every Shiny is holographic and 50 times rarer than its normal version. Completing the Shiny set is the ultimate flex. BID, DEAL & SELL Outbid real players in live auctions to snag the cards you're missing, grab limited daily deals, and sell your spare eggs back to the game for coins.
