Pokemon TCG Pocket: Booster Shields, should you spend them now or keep them?

Pokémon Pocket, a mobile game based on the popular Pokémon CGC, is available on iOS and Android. While players use their Booster Hourglasses to speed up the opening of packets, some prefer to save them. A strategy that could prove more judicious in the run-up to new expansions. But why? We tell you!

Released a few weeks ago on iOS and Android, Pokémon TCG Pocket offers Pokémon card nostalgics a new way to relive their passion. With this mobile game, users can collect virtual cards without the constraints of binders or bulky duplicates. The game allows a booster to be opened every 12 hours, but thanks to the invaluable Booster Hourglasses, it is possible to reduce this time. This item, however, is at the heart of a strategic debate within the community.

Booster Shields can be obtained through missions, level gains, or directly in the in-game store for real money. With 12 Hourglasses, players can open a booster instantly, a common practice for the impatient. However, some members of the community recommend keeping these Hourglasses... And for good reason! The reason? The imminent arrival of new expansions with new packs to obtain!

New boosters await you from the end of 2024. At present, only boosters from the Genetic Power expansion are available, but the arrival of new cards could introduce more powerful decks. So let's put aside the Hourglass Boosters and wait for the next expansions! To your Pokémon cards!
