How to Get Cards Summary

Opening Booster Packs

The most common way to get cards is by opening Booster Packs. Open 1 Booster Pack to get 5 cards. You can freely select which Booster Pack to open.

Open 2 Booster Packs for Free Every Day

Opening a Booster Pack requires Pack Stamina. You recover enough Pack Stamina to open 1 Booster Pack every 12 hours. So you can open 2 Booster Packs for free per day. However, you cannot stock more than 2 Booster Packs' worth of Pack Stamina.

Shorten Time with Special Items

Pack Hourglass can also be used to reduce time to open packs. Hourglasses are mainly obtained as mission rewards or when leveling up, and one hourglass reduces 1 hour.

Can be Shortened by Using Paid Items

You can also shorten the time by purchasing the paid item "Poke Gold." 1 Poke Gold reduces 2 hours, but you can only use up to 720 Poké Gold per day.

Pack Point

Cards can be obtained using "Pack Points." Pack Points are obtained every time you open a Booster Pack. You can earn 5 points by opening 1 Booster Pack, and you can keep up to 2,500 points.

All Cards in the Booster Pack are Exchangeable

Pack Points can be exchanged for any card included in the Booster Pack, including the highest rarity cards.

Wonder Pick

Cards can also be obtained from "Wonder Pick." With Wonder Pick, you can get 1 random card from the cards other players actually pulled from a Booster Pack.

Pick a Random Card by Using Wonder Stamina

To get a card from Wonder Pick, you will need to consume "Wonder Stamina." The number of Wonder Stamina consumed varies depending on the highest rarity of the 5 cards.

Wonder Stamina Required for Wonder Pick

*Booster Packs containing ★3 and crowns will not appear in Wonder Pick.

Recover 1 Wonder Stamina every 12 hours / Shorten with Items

1 Wonder Stamina is recovered every 12 hours. In addition, the item Wonder Hourglass can reduce 1 hour, and by using Poké Gold, you can reduce 2 hours for each one you consume.

Cards in Other Languages ​​Also Available

When selecting another player's cards in Wonder Pick, even if you select a player with a different language, you will still be able to obtain cards in that different language.

Shop

Some cards can be obtained from the "Shop." Here you can exchange cards using Shop Tickets. The cards here are currently not available in Booster Packs.

Get Tickets through Battles and Missions

Shop tickets can be obtained from battles with NPCs and as rewards for completing missions. Also, if you receive a "Thanks" after a Wonder Pick or a personal battle, you will receive one shop ticket every time.

Premium Pass Benefits

By purchasing the Premium Pass, you can open 1 additional Booster Pack every day. You can also receive benefits such as promo cards and premium missions.
