Do you think that would change the rarity?


If they were moved to the Pound or another player, no. If they were deleted, yeah, it would probably have a small effect (as rarity is the amount of pets per user). ^_^

They're still on the account but the account is inactive


since the pets still exist, no, it would not effect the rarity as they are still in game and considered to be in circulation.
honestly, even if they were deleted, it still likely would not change the rarity. i believe nick has mentioned in the past that, while a lot of users try to purposely hoard pets then delete them to change the rarity, the amount of pets you would have to get to significantly change the rarity is.. a lot.

The token pets usually turn out to be uncommon or rare, but there's also very rare from the space event :)
The free ones will most likely turn out to be very common, common or uncommon.

I figured haha just was wondering what rarity you guys thought some of the pets would be, specifically what token pets would be uncommon vs rare c:

... Has a token pet ever become uncommon? I haven't been paying close attention but I feel like I've never seen an uncommon token pet...
Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.

Yep, they have. There are two uncommon token foxes from last year's Easter event, and two uncommon token deer from the year before. I THINK there were initially some other uncommons, but the rest are rare now. Other events have had uncommon token pets as well. It's not an uncommon occurrence (pun intended :-P ) The more popular pets tend to be uncommons, as people are more likely to get those ones, and they may even get multiples.

the sunback bunny from 2012 has always been uncommon!
looks like there a few others from 2012 that are uncommon - the peaps bunny, the UR tigerdog bunny, and the vixen + snowflake advent bunnies
there are also a bunch of token bunnies from 2013 with an uncommon rarity but aside from those two years, i think the only easter token pets that are uncommon are the ones you got from randomized boxes,, wonder if that means anything interesting 🤔🤔

^ Yes inactive account pets do not count in relation to rarity. But around the 18th when people login to get rereleases, those inactive accounts logging in affects rarity by becoming active.

Does anyone know, if hoarding changes the rarity? ^^

No. ^^ Rarity is determined by the amount of a pet for each person on CS. What would affect rarity is that pet being deleted (and since there'd be less of that pet per person, the pet would become rarer) or people adopting lots of that pet (and since there'd be more of that pet per person, the pet would become more common).
