The second method is to look in the bottom-left corner of the card, where the raritys initial will be printed alongside other information like the cards set number

None of them have been amazing, but they let you trade 1-for-1 and you can do it at instant speed
In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card from the X and Y set
