Pokemon TCG Pocket Shares Important Information About Pack Points

Pokemon TCG Pocket has revealed some important news about the game’s Pack Points, confirming that players won’t need to worry about losing their older Pack Points. The massively popular mobile version of the beloved trading card game has been nothing less than a monumental success since its original debut nearly a year ago. Pokemon TCG Pocket saw instant traction from fans with millions of players hopping onto the game, releasing plenty of big exciting expansions. Now, The Pokemon Company is sharing some helpful details about the game’s Pack Point system.

Pack Points serve as a “pity” system for players to be able to pick up cards they couldn’t pull from the game’s different expansions. Pokemon TCG Pocket grants 5 Pack Points every time a player opens up a pack in Pokemon TCG Pocket, with the player able to redeem Pack Points for any card from the set provided they have enough. Pack Points are exclusive to the pack they come from, with each expansion having its own separate Pack Point count to use for cards from that specific set. A new update is now sharing a helpful failsafe for players collecting Pack Points.

Pokemon TCG Pocket shared a new notice through the game’s official social media accounts, giving a new reminder about the game’s Pack Points. The post confirmed that Pack Points earned from specific sets in Pokemon TCG Pocket will not expire after a pack leaves the in-game shop, with players able to still redeem their Pack Points for cards. The Pokemon Company also confirms that TCG Pocket‘s in-game tooltip regarding Pack Points is incorrect, with an update coming later to address the issue.
