What do the letters on Pokémon cards mean?
Letters on Pokémon cards? Oh, they're just the game's way of flexing how rare or shiny your card is. 'R' for Rare - that's your bragging rights starter pack. 'EX' and 'GX'? That's when things get real and your deck goes from zero to hero. Got a 'V' or 'VMAX'? Congrats, you're basically a Pokémon master in the making.

The letters on Pokémon cards are kinda like a secret language for card rarity and type! For example, 'C' stands for Common, 'U' stands for Uncommon, 'R' means Rare. Then it gets cooler with 'EX' or 'GX' which are super powerful Pokémon. And don’t forget about 'V' and 'VMAX' which are part of the newer card types that can totally change the game!
It's all about the rarity and card type. 'C', 'U', and 'R' for common to rare. 'EX', 'GX', 'V', 'VMAX' are the heavy hitters. Honestly, it's what makes collecting them so addicting!
I always thought the letters were Pokémon TCG's way of making us learn a new alphabet. Turns out, they tell you how rare your card is. Just give me all the 'VMAX' cards and no one gets hurt.
