Pokemon TCG Pocket Has Good News About Future Expansions

Summary

• Pack Hourglasses will continue to be used for future Pokemon TCG Pocket expansions, reducing booster pack opening delays.
• With Pack Hourglasses expected to remain relevant in upcoming expansions, players can continue stockpiling them.

The Pokemon Company has confirmed that Pokemon TCG Pocket Pack Hourglasses will remain a vital feature in future expansions, dispelling recent rumors that suggested otherwise. Launched in October 2024, Pokemon TCG Pocket has largely taken over from the Pokemon TCG Live mobile game, captivating fans with its engaging gameplay and expansive card collections. The addition of the Mythical Island booster pack, which introduced 68 new cards, further enriched the game's content. Despite speculation about the upcoming expansion in January 2025, The Pokemon Company has firmly stated that Pack Hourglasses will continue to play a crucial role.

Screen Rant reported on a statement from The Pokemon Company, which clarified that Pack Hourglasses will reduce the delay between booster pack openings by one hour, "regardless of the expansion." This announcement has put to rest any concerns about a new currency replacing Pack Hourglasses in the upcoming expansion. Players can confidently continue to collect these hourglasses, using them to expedite the opening of new packs.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Pack Hourglasses Are Here to Stay

For players without Pack Hourglasses, earning Pack Stamina by waiting 12 hours allows them to open two booster packs daily. Pack Hourglasses can be earned through daily challenges and by opening the Complimentary Item Set in the shop, which refreshes daily. Each Pack Hourglass speeds up the Pack Stamina process by one hour, with 12 hourglasses needed to cover the full 12-hour interval. In addition to Pack Hourglasses, Pokemon TCG Pocket offers various other currencies such as Wonder Hourglasses, Special, Event, and standard Shop Tickets, Poke Gold, and Pack Points.

The confirmation that Pack Hourglasses will remain useful in future expansions has alleviated concerns among fans who feared their stockpiles would become obsolete. As The Pokemon Company continues to update and expand Pokemon TCG Pocket, the game's future looks promising, provided it maintains its current level of success.
