How to get more pack stamina in Pokémon TCG Pocket

If you’re anything like me, you’ve likely got a rather large collection of Pokémon cards rattling around somewhere in your house. Collecting them is undeniably fun, and Pokémon TCG Pocket🅰 lets you do that without any additional clutter in your living space. 

The primary way to unlock new cards in TCG Pocket is by opening booster packs. At a base le☂vel, you get two booster packs to open every day, and they can be opened 12 hours apart. Why? Because it takes 12 hours for your “P⛦ack Stamina” to refill, allowing you to rip open another pack of five cards.

12 hours is a long time to wait, and it’s understandable if you get a little frustrated with the process, but thankfully, there are a co📖uple of ways to open more than two packs a day, and one of them won’t cost you a penny, although it is a bit of a grind. 

Complete missions and level up to earn some Pack Hourglasses

Hourglasses are the main way to speed up your waiting times in TCG Pocket. They’re a type of currency, essentially, and💎 you can spend one Hourglass to red💦uce your waiting time by one hour. 

The good news is that there’s a way for you to begin earning Hourglasses as soon as you’ve downloaded and installed the game, and all you need to do is play to complete missions. There are many different types of ওmissions to complete, but the ones that reward Pack Hourglasses are Basic Missions and Daily Missions. 

To begin with, you’ll have Beginner missions to complete. There are five in total, and once they’re completed, you’ll move up to the next set of missions. Completing each mission will get you 24 Pack Hourglasses, which is enough to completely negate any waiting and allow you to open up two ad♒ditional booster packs. ;

Daily Missions reward less Pack Hourglasses per one completed, but completing three will reward you with either🀅 Pack Hourglasses or Wonder Hourglasses. 

Complete the Battle tutorials

Once you’ve opened enough packs to reach level 3, you’ll be able to start battling either against other players, or against an AI opponent. It can be tempting 🍬to dive straight in, especially if you know how to play, but don’t skip out on the tutorials, because there are Pack Hourglasses to be had. 

To get them, open up the bat🌳tle menu on the bottom of the screen, then select “▨Guides” in the bottom left corner. There are seven tutorials to complete, each of which will give you two Pack Hourglasses. 

It’s worth noting that once you’ve coꦅmpleted the basic tutorials, you can also complete more advanced ones. These don’t reward Pack Hourglasse꧅s, but you can get some very useful Trainer cards this way. 

You’ll also earn Pack Hourglasses for♒ completing solo battle challenges for the first time. 

Exchange your tickets for Pack Hourglasses

Tickets are earned through the Wonder Pick system, and players who pick from your packs can send you thanks. E⭕ach thanks comes with a Ticket, which can be exchanged in the Shop. 

You can also get Tickets as part of the Daily Gift item within the Shop. This is completely𝐆 free, and you get all three of the items shown. They’re also a possible reward for leveling up, although this is a bit hit-and-miss.

Failing everything else, if you run out of Pack Hourglasses and have no Tickets left to exchange, you can always give up some real money to purchase some Poké Gold. Th꧙is currency works similarly to Pack Hourglasses, but eac💛h Poké Gold will reduce the waiting time by two hours instead of one, and you can use up to 720 Poké Gold each day. 

There are six different permanent bundles of Poké Gꦺold that can be purchased:
