In-Game Economy of Pokémon TCG Pocket

By Pokémon Zone
Last Updated:

Pokémon TCG Pocket comes with a rich in-game economy and a whooping number of currencies to trade against other resources. This page lists all the currencies and resources available, the way to obtain them and what they can get you.

Packs & related currencies

You get one free pack every 12 hours in Pokémon TCG Pocket. You can't directly purchase packs: instead you can reduce the cooldown at which you open packs, which is called Pack Stamina. You cannot accumulate more than 2 packs, so you have to come back at least once every 24 hours to not miss out. Find out the details in our Booster pack guide.

Poké Gold is divided into two types: those earned through in-game events and leveling up, and those purchased from the Shop. When reducing Pack Stamina with Poké Gold, the earned type will be consumed before the purchased type.

*You cannot spend more than 720 Poké Gold a day to reduce Pack Stamina.
**If you have both Poké Gold and Pack Hourglasses, Hourglasses will be used first. If you have Poké Gold (paid) and Poké Gold (non-paid), the non-paid will be used first

Everytime you open a pack, you get 5 pack points that you can trade to craft any card you want. You can see and use them from the booster pack menu, on the bottom right corner. Find all the details on our pack point guide.
