Amazing Rares do not appear to have any special game rules. They seem to be strong cards with unique attack costs and individual rainbow patterns around the artwork to reflect this.

As posted back in February:

Legendary Heartbeat will feature 76 cards and release on July 10th. This is the same day as the movie Pokemon Koko, meaning this will be a movie-themed set.

The set will feature Celebi, Zacian, Zamazenta, and other Mythical and Legendary Pokemon. It’s likely it will also feature the unrevealed Mythical Pokemon from Pokemon Koko.

The set will introduce a new type of rarity named “Amazing Rare.” Amazing Rares will feature powerful attacks, but your opponent will only take one Prize card.

The set will become part of our annual holiday set this year.

The Legendary Heartbeat box set featuring Marnie has also been revealed. It comes with two booster boxes of the set, a pack of 64 card sleeves, a deck box, a coin, and a box that holds 700 cards. It will release on July 10th with the set. The contents will also be sold separately.
