Pokemon TCG Pocket Pack Hourglasses: Confirmed for Future Expansions
Rumors suggesting the obsolescence of Pack Hourglasses in upcoming Pokemon TCG Pocket expansions have been officially debunked by The Pokemon Company. The statement confirms their continued use to reduce booster pack opening delays by one hour, regardless of the expansion.
This news is a relief to players who have been stockpiling these valuable time-savers since the game's October 2024 launch. The addition of the Mythical Island booster pack, containing 68 new cards, further highlighted the usefulness of Pack Hourglasses, especially for players who had already completed the initial Genetic Apex packs (226 cards across three packs). Speculation about a new in-game currency for expansion-specific hourglasses has been addressed and dismissed by The Pokemon Company for the anticipated 2025 expansion.
Pack Hourglasses remain a crucial element in managing pack opening times. Players lacking hourglasses can rely on Pack Stamina, replenishing at 12-hour intervals, allowing for two pack openings daily. These hourglasses are obtainable through daily challenges and the daily-refreshing Complimentary Item Set in the shop. Twelve hourglasses are needed to instantly open a pack. The game features a variety of other currencies, including Wonder Hourglasses, various tickets, Poke Gold, and Pack Points.
The confirmation that Pack Hourglasses will remain relevant in future Pokemon TCG Pocket expansions ensures players can continue their stockpiling efforts with confidence, anticipating future content updates and expansions.
