How to craft cards in Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket

It’s time to catch ’em all… again! This time the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket will let you build your old card collection all over again, but with new, shiny digital cards instead of the old cardboard ones. However, just like when you buy Pokémon cards in real life, you never know exactly what cards you’ll get in Pokémon TCG Pocket. That doesn’t mean you’re at the mercy of RNG to get your favorite Pokémon, though. There is a way to craft cards yourself, but you’ll need to navigate the game’s many currencies to do so, which is why we’re here to train you on how it all works.

How to craft cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket

Making your own cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket can be done for free, but will require different amounts of grinding depending on how rare the card is you’re looking to make.

Step 1: Earn Pack Points.

Pack Points are awarded each time you rip open a pack in the game. Every booster pack you open gives you 5 Pack Points, meaning you can get 10 each day for free or 15 if you have the Premium pass.

Step 2: Select the Pack Points icon next to the booster packs to open the Pack Point Exchange.

Step 3: This will show you all the cards in that set, how many Pack Points it costs, and your current number of Pack Points.

Step 4: If you have enough Pack Points, you can exchange them for the card you want.

From lowest to highest, here is how many Pack Points each card costs based on rarity:

• 1 Diamond – 35
• 2 Diamond – 70
• 3 Diamond – 150
• 4 Diamond – 400
• 1 Star – 500
• 2 Star – 1,250
• 3 Star – 1,500
• Crown – 2,500

Keep in mind that you can only hold a total of 2,500 Pack Points at a time. If you ever hit that limit, spend them on something before opening more packs, or those extra points will go to waste.
