However, Pokemon TCG Pocket includes Pack Points, which players can earn by opening booster packs and then exchange them for specific cards. Each booster pack awards five Pack Points, making it a reliable way to earn the cards you want over time.

Drawing a booster pack with rare cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket depends entirely on the Random Number Generator (RNG) and luck, as there is no mercy system that will gradually increase drop rates. Each draw means rolling a dice, making each rare card a matter of luck.
