Pokemon TCG Pocket Players Are Hoarding Hourglasses (& For a Good Reason)

Pokemon TCG Pocket Players Are Hoarding Hourglasses (& For a Good Reason)

As a dedicated Pokémon Trainer and avid collector of virtual cards, I can empathize with the current frenzy surrounding the hoarding of Pack Hourglasses in Pokemon TCG Pocket. With my years of experience playing this game, I’ve learned that patience often pays off – especially when it comes to limited resources like these hourglasses.


In Pokemon TCG Pocket, even with the Premium pass, players are restricted from opening a certain number of free booster packs per day. Items such as Hourglasses, which allow players to accelerate the timer leading to their next pack, become valuable assets in the game. Many find it difficult to save these hourglasses for extended periods due to the strong urge to open a new virtual pack. However, recently, Pokemon TCG Pocket players have been stockpiling Hourglasses – for a specific reason.

Daily tasks such as logging in, opening the two free booster packs, and claiming a daily Wonder Pick enable gamers to gather several Pack Hourglasses. Additionally, these items can be purchased with two shop tickets each in the in-game store. However, the number of obtainable Pack Hourglasses is limited. Yet, it seems that there’s no maximum cap on how many of these items players can accumulate at once.

To get three fresh Pack Hourglasses each day, you need to complete three tasks or missions. However, these extra missions have been scarce. Moreover, players can only collect a limited number of Shop Tickets from rewards like battle appreciation and showcase likes. This means that unless players opt for real-life purchases in the game’s shop, they can only earn a finite number of Pack Hourglasses daily.

New TCG Pocket Booster Packs Are Coming, and Players Are Prepared

As a dedicated player, I’ve noticed a trend among my fellow enthusiasts: they’re starting to save their Pack Hourglasses due to daily limits on this valuable resource. Accumulating more of these precious items allows us to open multiple packs simultaneously, and who wouldn’t want the thrill of opening ten packs all at once? With talk circulating about a new set of booster packs on the horizon, many of us are choosing to stockpile in anticipation.

Based on a recent announcement from the game developers, it appears that Pokemon TCG Pocket will receive new booster packs by the end of 2024. With less than a month remaining for this promise to be fulfilled, eager Pokemon enthusiasts are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the next batch of virtual boosters. Once these new packs arrive, they’ll introduce fresh cards to shake up the battle meta and add more content to players’ digital collections. To ensure they’re well-prepared, fans are keen on getting ready for this exciting update.

As a fellow enthusiast, I find myself eagerly preparing not to succumb to the alluring urge to unseal a fresh pack this moment. Instead, I choose to wait for the thrill of opening multiple packs from the upcoming set, allowing me the satisfaction of delayed gratification. Rest assured, the Genetic Apex packs aren’t vanishing anytime soon; however, some of us are yearning for new and exhilarating cards they contain. If tearing through ten packs at once strikes you as a delightful prospect, it might be wise to exercise patience until those brand-new Pokemon TCG Pocket boosters make their appearance on the scene.
