No more waiting

Pokémon TCG Pocket is an upcoming mobile game developed by Creatures and DeNA that is going to debut on October 31, 2024. However, the game already had a soft launch exclusive to the New Zealand region, and many players from that region are already running out of patience due to the wait time of opening a new pack.

As mentioned before, Pack Hourglass cuts down the wait time of the pack opening. To be more precise, every time you use a Pack Hourglass, it will reduce the wait time by one hour. So, that means if a pack has a wait time of seven hours, you can instantly open it after using seven Pack Hourglasses.

Ways to get Pack Hourglasses in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Basically, you can earn Pack Hourglasses in three ways: completing missions, first-time rewards when diving into the solo mode, and leveling up your account.

  • You can earn 120 Pack Hourglasses by completing the missions in the game.
  • You can also earn Pack Hourglasses by leveling up your account. You will get 12 Pack Hourglasses as a milestone reward for leveling up.
  • You can also earn a few Pack Hourglasses as a one-time reward once you dive in to the solo mode for the first time.

Also, you can use Poké Gold to reduce the wait time if you don’t have the Pack Hourglass.
