Pokémon TCG Pocket player has already hoarded 1000 (!) pack hourglasses - and that's really smart: That's why you should save now

It makes sense to resist the temptation to open more packs of cards using pack hourglasses.

You've had the chance for about a month nowOpen packs of the trading card game and sometimes get more, sometimes less rare cards out of them. If the two to three daily packs that the mobile game provides you are not enough, you can speed up the process with the so-called pack hourglasses. Right now, many players intend to stop spending the hourglasses for a good reason.

Save pack hourglasses now to open lots of new card packs later

Since Pokémon TCG Pocket has been playable for a month, enough players should have a proud repertoire of cards from the “Unbeatable genes“-set collected. While it's still time to get the remaining rare cards, some players are already thinking about the future. Because Pokémon TCG Pocket should of course get more sets after Unbeatable Genes.

Further expansions will follow:have leakers, that a mini set will follow in mid-December before the second larger expansion arrives at the end of January. It remains to be seen whether the dates are actually correct. But one thing is clear: we are slowly but surely approaching the next card sets in Pokémon TCG Pocket. And we want to be prepared for this, just like thousands of other players, so that we can open many card packs at the beginning.

While snes69 probably doesn't want to give out the hourglasses anymore, other users see this as a reason to start hoarding the packing hourglasses now. A few days ago I also forced myself to stop giving out the packing hourglasses at every opportunity. Currently I definitely feel more like Redditor mrmastermimi:

By the way, it is now clear what happens to the card packs from Unbeatable Genes when a new set is released. Colleague Annika answers this question for you in the following article:

Why should I hoard the packing hourglasses, are they so rare?

The pack hourglasses themselves are not rare. You can get some for free by completing the (daily) missions or via the in-game shop - but of course you can also spend money to get the currency.

The problem here is that you will eventually run out of initial missions or event tasks and will then be slow to get new pack hourglasses. That's why we recommend that you stock up on a few packing hourglasses now so that you can generously open packs when new card sets are released - after all, ripping open ten packs at once is very satisfying.

At this point we are looking forward to the opinion of the GamePro community:Are you spending your packing hourglasses or are you currently saving them too?
