Pokemon TCG Pocket: Exciting Updates on Future Expansions

IF YOU'RE A FAN OF THE POKEMON TRADING CARD GAME (TCG), YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT PACK HOURGLASSES—THE LITTLE GADGETS THAT SPEED UP YOUR BOOSTER PACK OPENING PROCESS IN POKEMON TCG POCKET. THESE USEFUL ITEMS WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY A KEY ROLE IN UPCOMING EXPANSIONS, AS THE POKEMON COMPANY HAS CONFIRMED THEIR CONTINUED RELEVANCE FOR FUTURE RELEASES.

RECENT RUMORS SUGGESTED THAT THE NEXT EXPANSION MIGHT IGNORE PACK HOURGLASSES, BUT THIS IS UNTRUE. EVEN WITH THE ADDITION OF NEW CURRENCY OR SYSTEMS IN THE FUTURE, PACK HOURGLASSES WILL REMAIN A VITAL PART OF THE GAME, REDUCING DELAYS BETWEEN BOOSTER PACK OPENINGS BY AN HOUR REGARDLESS OF THE EXPANSION TYPE.

POKEMON TCG POCKET WAS LAUNCHED IN OCTOBER 2024, REPLACING THE FORMER LIVE MOBILE GAME AND INTRODUCING NEW FEATURES LIKE THE MYTHICAL ISLAND BOOSTER PACK, WHICH ADDED 68 UNIQUE CARDS TO THE COLLECTION. DESPITE EARLIER SPECULATION ABOUT PACK HOURGLASSES BECOMING OBSOLETE IN UPCOMING EXPANSIONS, THE COMPANY'S OFFICIAL STATEMENT PUT THESE CONCERNS TO REST. GAMERS CAN SAFELY STOCKPILE THESE HOURGLASSES, AS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE USED IN UPCOMING CONTENT.

PACK HOURGLASSES: A CONTINUOUS FEATURE

WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF PACK HOURGLASSES, YOU CAN EARN PACK STAMINA BY WAITING 12-HOUR INTERVALS. EACH PACK HOURGLASS SHORTENS THIS TIME BY ONE HOUR, ALLOWING YOU TO OPEN TWO PACKS PER DAY. THESE HOURGLASSES ARE EARNED THROUGH DAILY CHALLENGES AND THE COMPLIMENTARY ITEM SET IN THE SHOP, WHICH REFRESHES EVERY DAY.

BESIDES PACK HOURGLASSES, THE GAME INCLUDES OTHER CURRENCIES LIKE WONDER HOURGLASSES, SPECIAL TICKETS, EVENT TICKETS, STANDARD SHOP TICKETS, POKE GOLD, AND PACK POINTS. WHILE THE POSSIBILITY OF NEW CURRENCY SYSTEMS EXISTS, THE POKEMON COMPANY HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT THIS WON'T AFFECT THE ROLE OF PACK HOURGLASSES IN UPCOMING EXPANSIONS.

AS THE POKEMON TCG CONTINUES TO EVOLVE, THE SUCCESS OF THE MOBILE GAME GUARANTEES FUTURE CONTENT. THIS MEANS THAT GAMERS CAN LOOK FORWARD TO USING PACK HOURGLASSES IN UPCOMING RELEASES, PROVIDING A SMOOTH AND ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE.
