Also known as FOP, Stoneman’s Disease is extremely rare and is caused by a mutation in the body’s repair system that causes muscles, ligaments and tendons to harden spontaneously (or after fibrous tissues have been damaged), resulting in permanently frozen joints. The story of Jeannie Peeper, a women who was born with FOP in 1958, is worth reading.
Treatment: There’s no treatment for Kuru, other than the preventative measure of not committing cannibalism.
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is also called Treeman syndrome, which is a hereditary skin disorder characterized by an abnormal susceptibility to human papillomaviruses or warts on the skin. [links]
Treatment: There is no successful cure for EV and while surgery can remove the growths, they do grow back. [links]

Table 1. Blood Types
The table below includes various blood types. more
You must have heard about the terms “blood group” or “blood type.” If you ever have undergone surgery or been admitted to a hospital for medical conditions, your doctor might have examined your blood for various parameters, such as blood counts and blood type. Your blood contains various cells and the liquid portion is called the plasma. The red blood cells or RBCs present in the blood carry certain molecules, called antigens, on their surface that determine what blood group you have. The antigens depend on the genes you inherit from your parents. These antigens may be grouped in various categories to form a system for blood typing called the ABO system. Based on this classification, your blood group may be here

Larimar is a very rare blue variety of the mineral pectolite and is found in only one small area of the Dominican Republic. This turquoise stone’s name was created by the man who brought the stone to prominence in 1974, Miguel Méndez—he took the first part of his daughter’s name, Larissa, and combined it with the Spanish word for sea, mar, to create the portmanteau larimar. Locals had known of the existence of the stone for generations, because small examples had washed up on the seashore, but it was not until the 1970s that sufficient quantities were found in the ground to open a mine.
Red beryl, also known as bixbite or red emerald, is so rare it is estimated by the Utah Geological Survey that a single such gem is uncovered for every 150,000 gem-quality diamonds. Pure beryl is colorless and only gains its bright hues from impurities in the rock: chromium and vanadium give beryl a green color resulting in an emerald; iron provides a blue or yellow tint creating aquamarine and golden beryl; and manganese adds the deep-red color to create red beryl. Red beryl is only found in Utah, New Mexico, and Mexico, and the majority of examples found are just a few millimeters in length, too small to be cut and faceted for use. Those that have been cut are generally less than a carat in weight, and a red beryl of 2 or 3 carats would be considered exceptional.
Grandiderite was first described in 1902 by French mineralogist Alfred Lacroix, who found it in Madagascar and named it in honor of the French explorer Alfred Grandidier, an expert on Madagascan natural history. This extremely rare blue-green mineral has been found in a number of places around the world, but so far only Madagascar and Sri Lanka have produced any gem-quality stones, and these are still extremely scant. The majority of the known stones are translucent, but the most rare, and therefore most valuable, example ever found was transparent. In fact, the stone was initially assumed to be another rare gem, serendibite, because grandiderite of that color and transparency had yet to be seen. The gem was only identified as grandiderite after expert analysis and was subsequently sold for an undisclosed sum. It’s safe to assume that if a gem of similar quality were to be unearthed, its scarcity alone would ensure it fetched an extremely high price. more
The amazing color-changing stone alexandrite was discovered in 1830 in the Ural Mountains in Russia and named after Russian tsar Alexander II. A variety of chrysoberyl, the stone’s remarkable color-shifting capability makes it especially sought-after: In sunlight the stone looks blue-green, but under incandescent light it becomes red-purple. The degree of color change varies from stone to stone, with some only showing marginal change, but the most valuable are clear stones that demonstrate complete color change. here
If there is a theme to this list, it is probably egg hatching, and that is no different with Snorlax. Perhaps the easiest way ("easy" being a relative term) to add Snorlax to your Pokédex is by hatching it in a – you guessed it – 10 km egg. 10km eggs might be tough to come by and may take a while to hatch, but if rare Pokémon is what you are after, then that is arguably the best way to do it. Pokémon Go is all about going out into the real world and walking around, and the egg gameplay mechanic is probably the best example of that. There are certainly a few ways in which a handful of users have discovered in order to cheat the walking system, but walking is honestly the best way to catch new Pokémon. Not only does it help eggs to hatch, but there is always a chance of running into a rare and powerful creature while on the move rather than on the couch at home. more
Here are the 15 Rarest Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
For most players, finding a Magmar midgame might be a fairly daunting task as there are a good number of frequent users who have yet to come across this Pokémon. Finding one is certainly no simple task, and additionally, hatching this Pokémon out of an egg can be just as difficult as he is only known to be found in the 10km variety. Collecting a bunch of 10km eggs and going out for a nice long walk seems to be the best way of attaining this uncommon flamethrower. That said, make sure to have a lot of berries and Great Balls on hand just in case you are lucky enough to run into a wild Magmar.
As the final evolution of one of the game's other starter Pokémon, Squirtle, Blastoise is another popular character that is extremely hard to obtain. Those who live or work near a sizable body of water may encounter a fair number of Squirtles, but that said, finding enough of these tiny turtles in order to acquire the fully evolved tank may prove difficult for most players. Much like the previous entry on this list (Venusaur), it is – to the surprise of many Pokémon fans – possible to locate this Pokémon in the wild.
