Lampent across the TCG

Lampent's first card was a 2011 Noble Victories Uncommon illustrated by MAHOU, followed by further Uncommon printings in Next Destinies, Plasma Storm and Plasma Freeze. It stayed an Uncommon rarity through Phantom Forces, Steam Siege, Guardians Rising and Lost Origin before Obsidian Flames dropped it to a Common.

White Flare paired a standard Common Lampent by satoma with an illustration rare by Ligton, and the Mega Evolution era's Pitch Black set returned it to Uncommon with a printing illustrated by sowsow.
