Pokémon TCG Pocket players can now claim up to 230 free Pack Hourglasses (equal to 19 booster packs) with simple steps like linking accounts and battling solo. Here’s how to snag every one.
Free Booster Packs? Say Less
Pokémon TCG Pocket is throwing booster pack fuel at players right now — and it’s not a drill. With the new Wisdom of Sea and Sky (A4) expansion out, players can earn up to 230 Pack Hourglasses, which translates to 19 booster packs. That’s a ton of free pulls for anyone chasing that full-art Rayquaza or just trying to max out their binder flex.
Let’s break down exactly how to get them.
1. Link Your Account – 36 Hourglasses (3 Packs)
Simple move, solid reward. All you have to do is:
- Tap the hamburger menu (bottom-right corner)
- Go to Settings > Account
- Link your Nintendo or app store account
Boom. That’s 36 Hourglasses, free and easy.
2. Trade Token Exchange – 60 Hourglasses (5 Packs)
Got old Trade Tokens collecting dust? Spend ’em before they vanish:
- Go to the Shop
- Navigate to Limited Time / Events
- Exchange your Tokens for either Pack Hourglasses or Shinedust
⚠️ Heads up: One-time deal — once those Tokens are gone, that door’s closed.
3. Solo Battles – 134 Hourglasses (11 Packs)
The classic method. If you’ve been grinding since Day 1, you know the drill. If not:
- Head to the Battle tab
- Choose Solo Battles (next to Versus)
- Complete all available missions tied to the A4 set
Each win, challenge, or milestone tosses Hourglasses your way. It adds up fast.
Why This Matters — Wisdom of Sea and Sky = 220+ Cards
This expansion isn’t small. With 220+ cards, having 19 booster packs on deck gives you:
- A legit shot at shiny cards or Wonder variants
- More Trade Token refills for crafting
- Greater deck diversity for PvP climbing
TL;DR: It’s free cardboard. You want this.
What’s Next? Watch These Upcoming Events
Even more freebies are likely inbound. Keep your eyes peeled for:
- August 6 – Drop Event
- Mid-August – Marill & Weavile Wonder Pick Event
These will likely bring bonus Hourglasses or free packs tied to dailies and missions.
Final Thoughts: No Wallet? No Problem.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is hitting that perfect mobile loop right now — frequent updates, generous events, and surprisingly fair monetization (if you play smart). With 230 Pack Hourglasses on the table right now, even F2P players have a shot at building some cracked decks.
Log in, link up, and clean out your Trade Tokens. Free packs wait for no one.
