Pokémon TCG Pocket game has reached an impressive milestone: 40 billion cards purchased by players around the world. To celebrate the achievement, the developers launched a special promotion, offering a free promotional letter from Pokédex.
The distribution of the card has begun and will continue until April 30, 2025. To rescue it, just access the game and play the Gifts (gifts), located in the upper right corner of the screen.
The growth of Pokémon TCG Pocket
Since its release, Pokémon TCG Pocket has gained more and more players, consolidating itself as a simplified and accessible version of the traditional Trading Card Game Pokémon . Unlike physical game, Pocket allows you to collect and battle dynamically without the need for complex rules.
The impressive number of 40 billion cards purchased indicates the growing popularity of the game. Although it was not detailed as these cards were obtained, it is believed that most come from the opening of reinforcement packages, the main method of acquisition within the game.
HOW THE DISTRIBUTION OF CARDS IN THE GAME WORKS
In Pokémon TCG Pocket , free players receive two daily reinforcement packages, each containing five cards. Those who sign the premium version gain an extra package per day and can purchase more Poké Gold , game coin bought with real money.
In addition, the game allows you to manufacture cards using Pack Points , but the amount required to create even ordinary cards is high. This reinforces the hypothesis that most of the 40 billion cards came from the opening of packages rather than direct manufacturing.
The Pokédex card and its value for players
The promotional letter offered in this celebration is not considered essential for battles or highly desired by collectors. However, the special art brings a differential: it presents the first first Pokémon of the first generation - Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur - alongside the iconic Pikachu.
The possibility of card exchange has not yet been implemented in the game, but it is expected to change in the future. If it happens, events like this can become valuable opportunities for players to expand their collections strategically.
New battle event is available
In addition to the distribution of the Pokédex letter, Pokémon TCG Pocket has launched a new battle event, which runs until January 27, 2025. Players will be able to compete in sequential challenges to gain participation, bronze, silver and gold.
With constant promotions and dynamic events, Pokémon TCG Pocket continues to expand its base of players and consolidating itself as one of the main ways to experience the Pokémon universe in digital card game format.
