Which is rarer?

I have two eX Weezing (eX Weezing, not Weezing eX).

One is shiny on all of the card except the border and image, and the number is 70/165

The other is shiny on the background of the image, and the number is 32/165

Which one of these is rarer? I think the second on is. ;315;

Thank you, SPPf! :)
Reverse holos aren't worth squat, though technically it's rarer due to the fact that the odds of you getting a specific one being 1/165. The second one you mentioned (regular holo) is definitely worth much more, however.

You haven't given us anywhere near enough information to answer that.

What sets are these cards from? What numbers, what rarities? Holo, or reverse holo?

Reverse holos are holographic versions of common/uncommon/rare/rare holo cards that can be found in the set. As of the 'Legend Maker' set, there are no reverse holos of PokemonEX, secret holo rares or box topper cards. In other words, you'll never get a reverse holo of CharizardEX.

Generally, EX cards(I've never seen a reverse holo for a card with "EX" in their name...like Arcanine EX) are more rare than those that do not feature "ex" in the card name. The ratio of rariety depends on the set and the amount of EX cards in that set.

As someone who specifically collects "specimens" instead of plays with them, I generally buy one or two boxes of a set when the cards are released on the market. My experience is that each box in each set contains the same amount of EX cards. Nintendo is pretty good about keeping the amounts to 12 holos/36 pack box, though, I find that the ratio of holos/pack is higher in the initial first week of the release of the set than it is at any other time.

Anywho, getting back to the rariety of the cards, the rariety of the PokemonEX card depends on the set. Most of the EX sets feature two Pokemon EX cards in each box. There are two exceptions to this rule - "Unseen Forces"(which included 3 due to the amount of EX cards in that set) and "Delta Species"(which included 1 EX card as the set only consist of 3 Pokemon EX cards). So, if you have a choice...go for an Unseen Forces box.

So, to get back to your question, a "Pokemon EX" card is more rare than the standard holo set(with exception to the Shiny Pokemon....they're 1 per 3 boxes), so, your Deoxys EX(assuming it's the one with the silver border) is more rare than a regular Manectic holo card.

I Think Deoxys is really rare to get though

Nope. You have the same chance of getting any form of Deoxys EX in the Deoxys set.

Theoretically, you have the same chance of pulling any regular holo card in the set, so nothing is more "rare". What you get in a box merely depends on chance, but, Nintendo seems really bent on keeping the 3 packs/1 holo ratio, and since their takeover of the TCG, every box I've received had exactly 12 holo rare cards(not including the boxtop card).
