There are a bunch of different currency and items that you can unlock and spend in Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket. With so many items and so many ways to spend them, it’s best to know what is used for what! Once you know all about the items within the game, you can best figure out how to use each one and when to spend them. Let’s get into the items!
Items in Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket
Poke Gold
Poke Gold is a rare item that has two categories in your items bag. You have non-paid and paid. Paid Poke Gold can be found in the shop, where you can purchase large bundles of them. You can also gain Poke Gold from rare events like Levelling Up. Poke Gold is used to speed up the time it takes to open a Pack of Cards. It takes 1 Poke Gold to reduce the time by 2 hours. You can only use 720 Poke Gold per day, to reduce the pack opening time. You can also use Pure Gold to unlock bundles of Poke Coins and visual accessories.
Shinedust
Shinedust are given from things like levelling up, completing missions and trading in duplicate cards. You can use your Shinedust to add Flair on cards. Flair adds visual touches – energy symbols, sparkles, etc.
