Pokemon TCG Pocket Powerhouse Surpasses Milestone of 50,000 Cards

Japanese YouTuber's Massive Pokémon TCG Pocket Collection
A $8,500+ Investment (Excluding Sales)
Hajimesyacho, a popular YouTuber known for diverse content, revealed his accomplishment on Twitter (X). Since the October 30, 2024 launch of Pokémon TCG Pocket, he's purchased the daily maximum of 720 Poké Gold, costing approximately $100 per day. Over the game's 85-day lifespan, this equates to an estimated $8,500 expenditure, excluding any potential savings from sales events.
This dedication resulted in a complete collection of cards from the Genetic Apex (A1) and Mythical Island booster packs, along with time-limited promotional cards. The latest addition, a "Pokedex" Trainer card rewarding top collectors, was obtained following the global collection of 40 billion cards.

McDonald's and Pokémon TCG Pocket Team Up!
A surprise collaboration between The Pokémon Company and McDonald's launched on January 21, 2025. Happy Meal purchases now include exclusive Pokémon-themed boxes containing physical Pokémon TCG cards and in-game rewards.
Fifteen unique physical cards, featuring popular Pokémon like Miraidon, Roaring Moon, Rayquaza, and others (seven with a holographic finish), are randomly distributed. Pokémon TCG Pocket players redeeming the Happy Meal offer receive 24 Pack Hourglasses and 12 Hourglasses for opening booster packs and utilizing the Wonder Pick feature.
Four distinct Happy Meal box designs showcase Charizard, Rayquaza, Roaring Moon, Dragonite, and Pikachu. This promotion is available at participating McDonald's locations while supplies last. Remember, in-game rewards expire on March 31, 2025.
Trading Feature on the Horizon
On January 17, 2025, Pokémon TCG Pocket announced details of its upcoming trading feature. Trading will initially be limited to friends with cards of equal rarity (1-4 diamonds and 1-star). Rarer cards (Special Illustration Rare, Immersive, and Crown Rares) are excluded. A consumable item, similar to Stardust in Pokémon GO, will facilitate trades.
While initially limited to cards from the Genetic Apex (A1) and Mythical Island packs, the developers have promised to expand the tradable card pool based on player feedback. A new booster pack is also teased for release in January.
