The Pokémon Company’s mobile card game “Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket” announced that it will be launched on both platforms on October 30. It has exceeded 10 million downloads worldwide within four days. The game allows players to enjoy the fun of PTCG card drawing and battle. Some fans are curious and want to collect it. How much time does it take to play each card in the current version? The simulation test results show that the difficulty is very high.
The player “TCGPCollector” spent several hours building a “Pack-Opening Card Collection Simulator” to simulate the massive test cases of “PTCG Pocket”, using the pack-opening power to draw 2 packs/3 packs of premium passports every day, redeem pack-opening points, and challenge cards from others. Choose one of the results from the package and wait, and the experimental report will be made public on the Reddit forum.
After about 10,000 simulations, it was found that if someone plays “PTCG Pocket” for free, it is estimated that it would take an average of 655 consecutive days to collect all the cards, including dozens of rare cards, hidden cards, etc. It means playing continuously for 437 days. Excluding hidden cards, it only takes 130 days/87 days.
If a player does not take on the card challenge, does not need to open packs to exchange cards, and only collects cards by opening supplementary blind packs, the time required to collect all the cards will be even more amazing. On average, 3,687 packs need to be opened to complete a set, which is equivalent to approximately 1,843 days (more than five years) and 1,229 days for special class passports.
“PTCG Pocket” imitates the card drawing specifications and battle methods of Pokémon trading cards, and the expansion packs will continue to be updated. Currently, “The Strongest Gene”, which mainly focuses on the first generation of Pokémon, has three card packs. There are many duplicate common cards in the card pack.
What’s more, the cards given away in the just-held limited-time “Laplace EX Drop Event” are not included in the card packs. They are additionally included in the picture book below. Add the event icon. Think of the future events. The more new cards come online, the harder it will be to achieve this feat.
It is also recommended that players who are interested in collecting cards should give priority to challenges with “two-star rare cards” in card-getting challenges. After all, the probability of drawing these cards through blind packs is the lowest. In addition, the rare sealed “Crown” “”Three-star” rare cards will not appear in the card challenge, followed by challenges with EX cards, and finally cards with one star and three diamonds.
On the other hand, there are rumors that “PTCG Pocket” has “little tricks” to open the expansion pack, such as observing the bending angle on the top of the package. This rumor is not only popular among players in Japan, the United States and Chinese circles, but also the French official “PTCG” Pocket” community page is all about memes.

Players can participate in missions through “Single Player Battle” and challenge beginners, intermediates, and advanced , Elite and other AIs of different difficulty levels need to consume “activity energy” in each battle, and will not be lost if defeated.
The higher the difficulty, the easier it is to drop special card pack rewards, which contain five cards including Monkey, Pikachu, Pippi, Baddie, and Lapras EX. It is recommended that players seize the opportunity to try more and accumulate 2 or more of the same card. In addition, “Shiny Sand” can be exchanged for card special effects.
