Pokémon Trading Card Game symbol confusions
Ultra Rare symbol confusions:
Some people get confused with this symbol. Dark-type cards always have white symbols. Some people brag and say, "Oh! I have an Ultra Rare Dark-type and you don't! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" They're wrong. Just because it has a white star on a Dark-type doesn't mean it's Ultra Rare. It just means it's Rare. If you have a Dark-type and it is Ultra Rare, it will have a silver star. White stars were before they had the materiel to make silver stars on cards that were Ultra Rare. The more old school Ultra Rare Pokémon cards will have a white star.
