With the move from the Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game Online app, TPC is ditching several previously key components. Namely removing the ability to trade with other players, and replacing it with new ways to build out your individual collection easier. At the core of TCG Live is a triple-headed monster of in-game currency\u2014Coins, Credits, and Crystals. Each has a very distinct use within the app, replacing older elements from TCGO or adding new wrinkles as TPC makes a modernized version of the digital simulator.\u00a0 Related: Does Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live have microtransactions? With that in mind, here is what each of the currency models is used for in TCG Live and how they will impact your experience if you plan to use the free-to-play app. All Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live in-game currency details and how to earn it Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live Coins: How to use and earn them Coins can be earned through quests, leveling up, and other in-game interactions. This includes battle pass progression, leveling up your account, and various other methods that will be frequently updated. You can also exchange Crystals for additional coins in the shop, though Crystals are much harder to collect so you might want to avoid doing this. Players can use their Coins to purchase avatar apparel items, emotes, deck boxes, card sleeves, and other accessories. Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live Credits: How to use and earn them Credits are obtained by converting additional copies of cards you already have four of or by hitting milestones in the game, such as battle pass progression and leveling up your account. There are special limits for cards like Ace Spec or Prism Star. So here is a breakdown for those.\u00a0 Four copies of any single card One copy of Ace Spec or Prism Star cards One copy of each part of a V-Union card 59 copies of any non-foil, basic Energy card Once redeemed, Credits can be used to grab copies of single cards you need for your collection through the Deck Editor, letting players easily access any available card. Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live Crystals: How to use and earn them The third and final in-game currency for TCG Live is Crystals, which can be earned by completing specific quests, unlocking battle pass tiers, and leveling your account up. Crystals can be used to purchase Booster Packs, promo cards, special bundles for products, and more through the in-game shop. Additionally, they can be used to upgrade your TCG Live Battle Pass to the Premium Pass or Premium Pass+, which gives players additional rewards while grinding their battle pass. Unopened products stored in your connected TCGO account you transfer over to the new platform will also be converted into Crystals. Here are the current conversion rates: One to nine Items: 250 Crystals 10 to 24 Items: 550 Crystals 25 to 49 Items: 1,125 Crystals 50 to 124 Items: 2,350 Crystals 125 or more Items: 6,200 Crystals","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20143626\/Pokemon-TCG-Live-logo-2.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459542"}],"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\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459542"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":857871,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459542\/revisions\/857871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=459542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

With the move from the Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game Online app, TPC is ditching several previously key components. Namely removing the ability to trade with other players, and replacing it with new ways to build out your individual collection easier. At the core of TCG Live is a triple-headed monster of in-game currency\u2014Coins, Credits, and Crystals. Each has a very distinct use within the app, replacing older elements from TCGO or adding new wrinkles as TPC makes a modernized version of the digital simulator.\u00a0 Related: Does Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live have microtransactions? With that in mind, here is what each of the currency models is used for in TCG Live and how they will impact your experience if you plan to use the free-to-play app. All Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live in-game currency details and how to earn it Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live Coins: How to use and earn them Coins can be earned through quests, leveling up, and other in-game interactions. This includes battle pass progression, leveling up your account, and various other methods that will be frequently updated. You can also exchange Crystals for additional coins in the shop, though Crystals are much harder to collect so you might want to avoid doing this. Players can use their Coins to purchase avatar apparel items, emotes, deck boxes, card sleeves, and other accessories. Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live Credits: How to use and earn them Credits are obtained by converting additional copies of cards you already have four of or by hitting milestones in the game, such as battle pass progression and leveling up your account. There are special limits for cards like Ace Spec or Prism Star. So here is a breakdown for those.\u00a0 Four copies of any single card One copy of Ace Spec or Prism Star cards One copy of each part of a V-Union card 59 copies of any non-foil, basic Energy card Once redeemed, Credits can be used to grab copies of single cards you need for your collection through the Deck Editor, letting players easily access any available card. Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live Crystals: How to use and earn them The third and final in-game currency for TCG Live is Crystals, which can be earned by completing specific quests, unlocking battle pass tiers, and leveling your account up. Crystals can be used to purchase Booster Packs, promo cards, special bundles for products, and more through the in-game shop. Additionally, they can be used to upgrade your TCG Live Battle Pass to the Premium Pass or Premium Pass+, which gives players additional rewards while grinding their battle pass. Unopened products stored in your connected TCGO account you transfer over to the new platform will also be converted into Crystals. Here are the current conversion rates: One to nine Items: 250 Crystals 10 to 24 Items: 550 Crystals 25 to 49 Items: 1,125 Crystals 50 to 124 Items: 2,350 Crystals 125 or more Items: 6,200 Crystals","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20143626\/Pokemon-TCG-Live-logo-2.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459542"}],"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\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459542"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":857871,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459542\/revisions\/857871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=459542"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=459542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
