While the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket The app will be free to play, with TouchArcade pointing out that it will include a premium currency called “Poké Gold”. It’s not yet known what the currency will be used for, but it seems there will also be a monthly premium pass that costs $9.99 / around £7.99. It’s likely that the pass and premium currency will be used to obtain limited booster packs.
The app’s store pages also confirm that players can open two free booster packs per day, similar to other mobile card games like Yu-Gi-Oh: Master Duel. Again, we’re not entirely sure how the cards will be categorized, but chances are this will be a rotating selection of cards, with rarer cards more likely to be included in premium packs.
Finally, the trailer ends with a teaser for an “immersive” card featuring Mewtwo. These cards seem to be the crème de la crème in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket and play animated scenes when tapped. Going by gacha standards, one or two of these cards will probably be available on a rotating basis.
