The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It can occur when two populations become separated by some barrier and become subject to differing selective pressures and potentially genetic drift.
- If sufficient evolutionary distance accumulates, the derived populations may become reproductively incompatible through various types of physiological or behavioral barriers.
- Charles Darwin discussed an early version of the concept at length, but the American naturalist J. T. Gulick was the first to use the term "divergent evolution" specifically, and it has since become a foundational concept in evolutionary biology.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Divergent evolution article was read about 17,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Divergent evolution
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
