How to Earn 230 Pack Hourglasses in the Wisdom of Sea and Sky Expansion

2025-07-31 16:01:17

Pokemon TCG Pocket enthusiasts now have an exciting opportunity to collect up to 230 Pack Hourglasses, translating to 19 valuable booster packs. This generous offer comes just as players are diving into the new Wisdom of Sea and Sky card collection, making it perfect timing for collectors and competitive players alike.

The game's developer, DeNA, has introduced multiple pathways for players to earn these coveted Pack Hourglasses alongside the launch of the A4 expansion. These special items serve as premium currency that accelerates the pack-opening process, becoming one of the most sought-after resources in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

Currently, players can acquire these bonus resources through three primary methods:

  1. Account Linking Reward: By connecting their app store account to Pokemon TCG Pocket, players instantly receive 36 Pack Hourglasses (3 booster packs)
  2. Token Conversion: The in-game shop now allows players to exchange their unused Trade Tokens for up to 60 Pack Hourglasses (5 booster packs)
  3. Solo Battle Challenges: Completing the new expansion's Solo Battles can yield an impressive 134 Pack Hourglasses (11 booster packs)

For players holding onto Trade Tokens, the limited-time exchange offer in the shop's Events section presents a golden opportunity. This one-time conversion allows players to swap their Tokens for either Pack Hourglasses or Shinedust, with the offer disappearing once all Tokens are spent.

Account linking is straightforward - simply access the Settings menu via the hamburger icon in the bottom-right corner, navigate to the Account tab, and enter your Nintendo or app store credentials. The Solo Battles, a fan-favorite method for farming booster packs since the game's launch, remain accessible through the Battle menu alongside Versus mode.

With the Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion introducing over 220 new cards, every additional Pack Hourglass becomes increasingly valuable. Excitingly, DeNA has hinted at upcoming events tied to the A4 set that will offer even more opportunities to earn booster pack currency. Players should mark their calendars for the Drop Event starting August 6, followed by the Marill and Weavile Wonder Pick Event.
