Pokémon TCG Reveals Upcoming Expansion Details

Pokemon TCG Pocket Pack Hourglasses: Confirmed for Future Expansions

Recent speculation suggested that the upcoming Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion would render Pack Hourglasses obsolete. However, The Pokemon Company has officially confirmed that this is inaccurate. Pack Hourglasses will continue to function as intended in future expansions, reducing booster pack opening delays by one hour per hourglass, regardless of the expansion's content.

This confirmation follows the October 2024 release of Pokemon TCG Pocket and the subsequent addition of the Mythical Island booster pack. With another expansion anticipated in January 2025, concerns arose regarding the utility of accumulated Pack Hourglasses. These concerns have now been addressed.

The statement from The Pokemon Company clarifies that, while new in-game currencies may be introduced in the future, the current system, including Pack Hourglasses, will remain unaffected by the next expansion. Players can therefore continue to stockpile these hourglasses to expedite future pack openings.

For players without Pack Hourglasses, Pack Stamina replenishes every 12 hours, allowing for two pack openings daily. Pack Hourglasses are obtainable through daily challenges and the daily Complimentary Item Set in the shop.

The persistence of Pack Hourglasses is good news for players who had been worried about the value of their existing stock. The continued success of Pokemon TCG Pocket strongly suggests further expansions are likely, ensuring the ongoing relevance of this time-saving mechanic.
