The English Pokémon card rarity guide

Diamond & Pearl

This is the first set of the Diamond & Pearl Series. Instead of Pokémon-ex and Gold Stars, we now have Pokémon LV.X. For this first set, the pull rate is 1 per box. The number of cards per pack is increased to 10, the packs now featuring 3 instead of 2 uncommons. This is the first set since Ex Ruby & Sapphire to include “normal” (non-holofoil) Basic Energy Cards, which now include Darkness and Metal types. Unlike in previous sets, they are printed on the same sheet as the commons, which I was able to reconstruct. The rarity table looks as follows:

The raw data for the holos, rares and Pokémon LV.X is as follows (dashed lines indicating the transition from H8 to H7, etc.):
