Pokémon TCG Teases Future Set Expansions

Pokemon TCG Pocket Pack Hourglasses: Confirmed for Future Expansions

Recent speculation suggested that the upcoming Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion would render Pack Hourglasses obsolete. However, The Pokemon Company has officially confirmed that this is false. Pack Hourglasses will continue to function as intended in future expansions, reducing booster pack opening delays by one hour per hourglass, regardless of the expansion's content.

This confirmation follows the October 2024 launch of Pokemon TCG Pocket and the subsequent release of the Mythical Island booster pack. With another expansion anticipated in January 2025, concerns arose regarding the utility of accumulated hourglasses. These concerns are now alleviated.

Players can continue to stockpile Pack Hourglasses, knowing they will remain a valuable asset for accelerating pack openings. The acquisition of these hourglasses remains unchanged; players can earn them through daily challenges and the daily Complimentary Item Set in the shop. While the possibility of new expansion-specific currencies remains open for future updates, the current system will remain consistent.

The continued relevance of Pack Hourglasses underscores the ongoing development of Pokemon TCG Pocket. The game's success ensures the likelihood of further expansions, making the strategic accumulation of hourglasses a sound practice for players. Even without hourglasses, players can still open two booster packs daily by utilizing Pack Stamina, which regenerates over 12-hour intervals.

The various in-game currencies, including Wonder Hourglasses, Shop Tickets, Poke Gold, Pack Points, and others, will continue to coexist with the Pack Hourglass system.
