Opening up card packs is the progenitor of loot boxes, so we can all recognize that occasionally icky feeling while playing Pokémon TCG Pocket. Keeping track of all the game’s numerous currencies certainly doesn’t help in that regard either.

In Pokemon TCG Pocket, Pack Points are a card-crafting currency. You earn them passively by engaging with the game’s main card-acquisition features. These points can then be spent in an exclusive shop to purchase any non-promotional card you want—even ultra-rare ones like the Crown Rarity Pokemon.

Some packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket are presented backwards from the get-go, but does that mean they have better cards?
