The rarity of a skin depends heavily on the game in question. There's no single answer, as different games have different systems for determining rarity and different skins with varying availability.
Rarity in Video Games
Many online games, like Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, and Brawl Stars, feature cosmetic items called "skins." The rarity of these skins often reflects their limited availability and difficulty to obtain.
