What do the symbols on Pokémon cards mean?
The symbols on Pokémon cards are super important for telling you all sorts of things about the card! The little symbol in the bottom right corner? That's the set symbol, telling you which set the card belongs to. Then there's the rarity symbol - like a circle for common, a diamond for uncommon, and a star for rare. You'll also see symbols that indicate the card's type (like fire, water, etc.), and for energy requirements needed to use the card's moves. Don't forget, the Pokémon's stage of evolution is shown right above the picture too!

Simple version: Circle = common. Diamond = uncommon. Star = rare. The set symbol shows what set it's from, and there are symbols for the Pokémon's type and energy requirements.
Honestly, the symbols aren't that big of a deal. Just enjoy the game and the artwork. You'll get the hang of it as you go.
