The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This species is a livebearer, similar to other fish of the family Poeciliidae, such as the guppy and molly.
- Platies are native to the east coast of Central America and southern Mexico.
- The two species, the southern platyfish and the variatus platy, have been interbred to the point where they are difficult to distinguish.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Platy article was read about 29,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 44 and blocks with 32: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
How to get Platy
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.
