To be more precise, you&#8217;ll have to spend $10 every month if you&#8217;re looking at getting the Premium Pass. Since Pokemon TCG Pocket is a free-to-play title, there&#8217;s always a question of whether spending any real-life money is actually worth it.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pokemon-tcg-pocket-premium-pass-content\">Pokemon TCG Pocket Premium Pass content<\/h2><\/iframe>    <p>So, it&#8217;s clear that we have to pay $9.99 per month to get the benefits of the pass. But what do we get in return?<\/p>    <ul> <li>One extra daily pack, totaling 30 if you manage to log in once every day.<\/li>    <li>Monthly premium missions.<\/li>    <li>Access to the Premium shop, which lets you get special cards and accessories in exchange for Premium Tickets.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>If you manage to complete all the premium missions (which is pretty easy to do), you&#8217;ll get a total of 11 pack Hourglasses, eight Wonder Hourglasses, and 29 Premium Tickets. For comparison, if you were to spend the same money on the &#8220;Release Celebration&#8221; sale, you&#8217;d get 72 Poke Gold. One Poke Gold will help to reduce the waiting time for a pack by two hours. Hence, you&#8217;ll need six Poke Gold to grant a pack and a total of 12 packs.<\/p>    <p>Hence, spending the same amount on the Premium Pass is a far better way to spend if you want to do so. The only benefit of getting the Poke Gold is immediate access to the extra packs. Unless you&#8217;re in desperate need of new cards, the Premium Pass is perhaps the best way to spend money on <em>Pokemon TCG Pocket<\/em>.<\/p>    <p>That said, you can simply play for free, as <em>Pokemon TCG Pocket<\/em> isn&#8217;t your typical digital TCG. While there is PvP, the game doesn&#8217;t have a ranked mode. The lack of a progression system means that you can enjoy the game casually, and for that, having a meta deck isn&#8217;t necessary.<\/p>    <p>As long as you remember to log in daily to the game and complete the missions, the Premium Pass is well worth buying inside the game. Opening 30 extra packs over a month can help build up your collection nicely and let you build <a href=\"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/best-pikachu-ex-deck-in-pokemon-tcg-pocket\/\">more decks.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More
