ultra rare
Almost never found
Ultra rare describes something so scarce it exists in only the smallest quantities—rarer than merely rare.
The term appears in collecting communities for cards, coins, and memorabilia to designate the highest scarcity tier: I pulled an ultra rare from the booster pack.
In gaming, ultra rare items have the lowest drop rates.
The phrase also describes medical conditions affecting extremely few people or steaks cooked barely at all—seared outside, cool and red throughout.
