Pokemon TCG Pocket Has Good News About Future 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 untrue. 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 release of Pokemon TCG Pocket and the subsequent addition 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 allayed by The Pokemon Company's statement.

Players who have been stockpiling Pack Hourglasses can rest assured that their investment remains valuable. The statement explicitly negates rumors of a new, expansion-specific currency replacing Pack Hourglasses. While future updates might introduce additional currencies, the current system, including Pack Hourglasses, remains unchanged for the anticipated 2025 expansion.

The mechanics of Pack Hourglasses and Pack Stamina remain consistent. Without hourglasses, players earn Pack Stamina at 12-hour intervals, allowing for two pack openings daily. Hourglasses are obtainable through daily challenges and the daily Complimentary Item Set in the shop.

The continued relevance of Pack Hourglasses underscores the ongoing development and support for Pokemon TCG Pocket. The game's success suggests further expansions are likely, ensuring the continued utility of these valuable time-saving items.
