The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Ice pellets are different from graupel, which is made of frosty white opaque rime, and from a mixture of rain and snow, which is a slushy liquid or semisolid.
- Ice pellets often bounce when they hit the ground or other solid objects, and make a higher-pitched "tap" when striking objects like jackets, windshields, and dried leaves, compared to the dull splat of liquid raindrops.
- Pellets generally do not freeze into other solid masses unless mixed with freezing rain.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ice pellets article was read about 46,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 47 and blocks with 30: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Ice pellets
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.
