The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They have often been captured from elsewhere by their parent planet, unlike regular satellites that formed in orbit around them.
- Irregular moons have a stable orbit, unlike temporary satellites which often have similarly irregular orbits but will eventually depart.
- The term does not refer to shape, Triton, for example, is a round moon but is considered irregular due to its orbit and origins.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Irregular moon 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 76 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
