Pokemon TCG Pocket – A Collector’s Dream?

Pokemon TCG Pocket is a new Pokemon mobile game that allows trading card game (TCG) collectors to showcase their favorite cards in binders, decks, and displays. Besides, collecting the game offers the ability to make friends, do Wonder Picks, and battle. Common Pokemon game aspects, such as trading cards, are a developing feature.

Pokemon TCG Pocket – A Collector’s Dream?

As a Pokemon card collector, I understand the importance of displaying one’s cards. You must be careful with your sleeves, binders, and storage choices. Pokemon Pocket eliminates those concerns by providing a digital showcase. You can open a pack daily or add it to your growing collection as soon as your stamina refills.

Much like collecting physical cards, you will get some gems but many duplicates. There are even “bent packs,” where you can see a slight bend at the top. Rumors spread that bent packs would increase your chances of getting a rare card, but those rumors have since been debunked.

Under “My Cards,” you will find binders, display boards, and decks. These are all options to showcase your cards, and you can customize them to meet your standards with illustrations and covers you collect along the way. You can also customize decks and show them off during battle.

Wonder Picks

Wonder Picks provides multiple options for your friends or strangers who recently received cards and allows you to collect them yourself. They have their own “Wonder Stamina” that resets over time and can be used to attempt a specific card. Each set of Wonder Picks has five cards, and you can pick one at random. This feature allows you to collect rare cards, so check it out daily!

There is a clear stamina price under each section of Wonder Picks. You can also quickly identify which cards you have by noting the deck bo symbol on the bottom left of the card. On the upper right of the set, you can see what pack the cards came from. So, if you are unsuccessful, you know which packs to try for when your stamina resets.

Battle

It wouldn’t be Pokemon without the ability to battle others. Pokemon TCG Pocket provides the option of battling solo or against others. You can use your decks, work with themed decks, or even rent a deck for battle.

In battles, you can often find events that allow you to obtain limited-time digital merchandise for your game. You have the option in versus battle to select an event match, private match, or random game. If you are unsure, take all the time you need in solo battles, or reach out to friends and do a private match.

Pokemon TCG Pocket was a delightful surprise and a refreshing take on a new way to collect Pokemon TCG. Without having to monitor room temperature or buy specific binders or sleeves, this mobile game allows collectors to have a stress-free environment. No matter your favorite aspect of Pokemon TCG, Pokemon Pocket has what you want.
