how can you tell which pokemon cards are rare What is an Ultra card? TCG explained What are Special Art Rares?

Right now gen 1 will have some clear archtypes (like the bugs, metal coating, the god birds, eeveeolution [coming soon], etc.) and some cards will support these existing archtypes or will just be helpfull support for all pokemon in general
