The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket (PTCGP) just unveiled enticing new Premium Pass rewards, headlined by a breathtaking Mewtwo promo card. This full-art card depicts the Legendary Pokémon soaring over a cityscape, a captivating design sure to tempt collectors and players alike. But that’s not all! Several Pikachu-themed accessories, including a playmat, card sleeves, a backdrop, a cover, and a coin, have also been added, further enhancing the Premium Pass allure.
The PTCGP offers a complimentary two-week Premium Pass trial for all new users. However, players who previously utilized the trial will need to subscribe for $9.99 per 30 days. The Premium Pass grants subscribers one additional card pack daily, totaling 15 cards per month, alongside exclusive promo cards and accessories. This provides a significant advantage for building a comprehensive collection, but strategic players may prefer to wait for upcoming booster pack releases.
New premium rewards featuring a Mewtwo promo card and Pikachu-themed accessories are now available in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
In November, The Pokémon Company teased new booster packs arriving in PTCGP sometime this December. While details regarding the contents and release date remain scarce, prospective Premium Pass subscribers might consider holding off until more information is revealed. Subscribing when fresh cards are introduced often proves more advantageous than accumulating cards from older sets, like the current Genetic Apex, which many players likely possess in abundance. This explains why some players are strategically saving their Pack Hourglasses.
Weighing the Value of the PTCGP Premium Pass
One of PTCGP’s strengths is its accessibility without requiring substantial in-game spending. Although numerous in-game currencies and opportunities for microtransactions exist, building a robust card collection organically is entirely feasible. While exclusive promo cards like the Mewtwo and the previous Pikachu offering might spark envy, players primarily focused on deck building and online competition can comfortably forgo these occasional promos.
Is the Mewtwo Promo Card Enough to Sway You?
The new Mewtwo promo card certainly presents a compelling incentive for PTCGP players to consider the Premium Pass. The added Pikachu accessories further sweeten the deal. However, with new booster packs on the horizon, waiting for their release might be a more strategic approach.
Ultimately, the decision rests on individual priorities and playing styles. Are you planning to subscribe to the Premium Pass? What promo card would convince you to take the plunge? Let’s discuss! Share your thoughts on Twitter @Marcdachamp, Bluesky @Marcdachamp, or Instagram @Dachampgaming!
