Pokemon Pocket: How To Buy Cards Through The Pack Point Exchange
Here’s everything you need to know about the Pack Point Exchange in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
As a free-to-play mobile game, there are also about a dozen different currencies to keep track of, each obtained from a different source and used to buy different things. The shop alone has three different currencies: Shop Tickets, Special Shop Tickets, and Premium Tickets; below, we’ll take a look at everything you need to know about getting and spending these currencies.
How To Get And Spend Shop Tickets
The most basic form of spendable shop currency in Pokemon Pocket is the Shop Ticket. You can get up to six Shop Tickets a day, five from receiving likes or thanks after Versus Battles or Wonder Picks, and one from the free Daily Gift.
You can also get Shop Tickets from completing certain Themed Collection Missions and completing objectives in solo Battles.
You can spend Shop Tickets on Pack Hourglasses and Wonder Hourglasses, Special Shop Tickets, cosmetic Covers, Supporter Cards, and Item Cards.
There are two categories of Hourglasses available to purchase from—a one-time selection where you can buy 70 of each type of Hourglass, and a monthly-refreshed selection that updates its stock every month.
Here’s a list of available items and their prices.

How To Get And Spend Special Shop Tickets
You can buy Special Shop Tickets with 300 normal Shop Tickets, or you can get them by trading in extra copies of rare cards.
You can only trade in a rare card if you would still have two copies of the card after the trade.
Special Shop Tickets are used to buy expensive cosmetic items that feature a classic Poke Ball design. Here’s everything you can buy with Special Shop Tickets.

How To Get And Spend Premium Tickets
Premium Tickets are a special currency that is only obtainable through the Premium Pass, so you’ll either need to use the two-week trial or subscribe to the Premium Pass to get this currency. As long as you have access to the Premium Pass, you can complete Premium Missions, which will reward you with Premium Tickets.
The Premium Shop offers cosmetic items like Coins, Playmats, Card Sleeves, Backdrops, and Covers, as well as a special Promo card each month. The shop’s offerings rotate with each new Premium Pass, but your Premium Tickets will carry over, so you can save them up if the current rotation of cosmetics isn’t to your liking.
