The Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket (PTCG Pocket) is launching a festive Holiday Countdown Campaign, offering players a chance to earn free Pack Hourglasses. This three-day event will reward players with 12 Pack Hourglasses daily, simply for logging in. This translates to a total of 36 free Pack Hourglasses over the course of the event, allowing players to open booster packs at an accelerated rate. This news comes as a welcome bonus for many players who have been strategically saving their Hourglasses.
Coinciding with the Mythical Island Booster Pack Release
The timing of the Holiday Countdown Campaign coincides perfectly with the release of the new Mythical Island booster packs. While the previous Genetic Apex boosters featured iconic Pokemon like Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo, the Mythical Island packs showcase the mythical Pokemon, Mew. These new packs, arriving on December 17th (the same day the Holiday Countdown Campaign begins), promise an array of new cards. Players can anticipate variations on Pokemon from the Genetic Apex set, as well as brand-new additions like Marshadow, Snivy, and Dhelmise.
Players can look forward to using their free Hourglasses on the new Mythical Island packs.
Enhanced Opportunities to Collect New Cards
This event significantly increases the chances for PTCG Pocket players to collect the new Mythical Island cards. While the Hourglasses can be used on any available booster pack, the existing Genetic Apex packs will remain available. This is beneficial for players still working on completing their Genetic Apex collection. The community response to the Holiday Countdown Campaign has been overwhelmingly positive, with many players expressing their gratitude for the event’s timing.
A Look at PTCG Pocket’s Content Updates
PTCG Pocket launched in late October with over 100 cards available through three different booster pack types. While promo cards have been released through various in-game events, the Mythical Island packs represent the first new themed booster pack since launch. The frequency of future card releases is yet to be confirmed, but the game’s impressive 60 million downloads suggest a consistent stream of new content in the coming months.
Conclusion: A Festive Boost for PTCG Pocket Players
The Holiday Countdown Campaign provides a generous opportunity for PTCG Pocket players to expand their card collections. The free Pack Hourglasses, combined with the release of the Mythical Island boosters, create an exciting period for players. Whether focusing on the new Mythical Island cards or continuing to collect Genetic Apex cards, this event offers something for everyone.
