Let’s learn of all the ways that you can earn the much-needed hourglasses in Pokemon TCG Pocket!
In Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, one of the things you want to be doing is opening up packs of cards. These cards fill up your Dex, they give you more options when creating your own decks to battle, and are just fun to collect. It takes 12 hours to re-charge and allow you to open up a pack, unless you have the right number of hourglasses!
Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket actually has two types of hourglasses. There are the normal Hourglass, which is used to open whole packs, and there are the Wonder hourglasses, which are used within the Wonderpick.
Hourglass
Levelling Up
When you level up, you often gain 12 Hourglass items, each time you Level Up. This is a great way to get a boost of them.
Missions
By completing Missions, you can be rewarded with Hourglasses. These are rewarded as prizes for the Beginner Missions, as well as the main prize for completing Daily Missions. You can also find Premium Missions that reward Hourglasses too, if you have the Premium Pass.
Battle Tasks
You can complete Battle Tasks under a bunch of different difficulties. For each Beginner task, you can be rewarded with two Hourglasses. For Intermediate it increases to three, while Advanced is five and Expert rewards seven.
The Shop
If you really want to get Hourglasses, you can purchase them using Shop Tickets in the Shop. There are a variety of different bundles depending on how much you want to purchase at a time.
Wonderpick Hourglasses
When it comes to Wonderpick Tokens, the number you need depends on the rarity of the cards within the pick you want to take on. This often ranges from one to three Tokens per go.
Wonderpick shows the five cards you could possibly get, shuffles them up, and allows you to pick one which you get to keep. You can hold five Wonderpick Tokens by default, but can hold an extra three if you have the Premium Pass. You can use your Wonderpick Hourglasses to get these tokens, at a rate of nine hourglasses for one, to 57 hourglasses for a full recovery. This does adjust depending on the amount of time you have already waited.
Levelling Up
When you level up, you often gain 12 Wonder Hourglass items, to use within the Wonderpick.
Complimentary Item Set
Each night at midnight, you can collect a Complimentary Item Set. This item set contains one Wonder Hourglass each day, so logging in to collect it can build up your storage of them.
Missions
Within the Beginner Missions, not the daily missions, you can find some rewards for Wonderpick Hourglasses. You can also find them as rewards for completing themed collections. If you have the Premium Pass, you can complete Premium Missions for Wonderpick Hourglasses as well.
The Shop
If you really want to get Wonder Hourglasses, you can purchase them using Shop Tickets in the Shop. There are a variety of different bundles depending on how much you want to purchase at a time.
