Most of the details in this article reflect the build of the game we had access to at the time. Some information might change before the official release on Oct. 30. Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket in-game monetization and currency guide Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket in-game Currency Obtained by What it does\/usesPok\u00e9 Gold In-game shop using money It can be redeemed for emblems that can be added to player profiles Shop Ticket Obtained by completing missions or step-up battles Can be redeemed for cosmetic items and accessories* Emblem Ticket Obtained by completing Themed Collections or Dex missions Can be redeemed for emblems that can be added to player profiles Special Shop Ticket Obtained by consuming high rarity cards in My Cards Can be redeemed for special accessories* Event Shop Ticket Obtained by completing event missions (disappear after event period ends) Can be redeemed for limited-time accessories**Accessories may vary but often include cosmetic items like playmats, card sleeves, and coins From what we saw at the event, Pok\u00e9 Gold is the only currency you buy with real money. All the other currencies, including Shop Tickets, Emblem Tickets, Special Shop Tickets, and Event Shop Tickets, have to be earned in-game through various actions, such as opening packs or partaking in missions. While you need Pok\u00e9 Gold to get packs,\u00a0you need the four ticketed currency options to obtain cosmetics, like limited-time playmats, binder covers, sleeves, coins, and so on. It's cool for those who want to personalize their decks and collections, but another option is available for those who aren't that interested and only want to open packs. For $9.99 a month, you can sign up for a monthly subscription service that gives you one additional free booster pack every 24 hours. It also unlocks premium missions, and, from them, you get a premium currency that gives you a chance to obtain unique promo cards and additional in-game cosmetic items. The Pok\u00e9mon Company said at the event that the promo cards on offer through the Premium Pass currently feature the same attacks, abilities, and HP as other cards, and are purely for showing off. \"Currently\" is the keyword here, as the game may eventually feature cards exclusive to the Premium Pass\u2014so hopefully, it doesn't lead to any pay-to-win mechanics.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pokemon-TCG-Pocket-Mewtwo.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1337797"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1337797"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1337797\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1339060,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1337797\/revisions\/1339060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1217290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1337797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1337797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1337797"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1337797"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1337797"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1337797"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1337797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
