Collecting digital trading cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket is as simple as tearing open packs. However, just like the traditional tabletop, certain cards have more value than others. While pulling these special finds from packs is up to fate, enrolling packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket can put those odds in your favor.
In Pokemon TCG Pocket, players rip open digital packs containing five cards and add them to a gallery collection. These cards can be admired as part of your collection or unleashed in battle against other players.
However, to get the best cards in the game right from the start, there is a trick that can come in handy. Below is everything you need to know about enrolling card packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
Rerolling starting packs: When & how to reroll in Pokemon Pocket
It is important to note that you can only reroll your packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket by creating a new account. Because of this, this exploit only works when you are just starting out in the game.
To reroll, you will have to completely erase your account data from your device. We also recommend not tethering your account to a Google email address or Nintendo account until after you have a starting selection you like.
If the account is hooked to one of the above options, players won’t be able to register another account, even if they delete the app data and start over.
When to reroll in Pokemon TCG Pocket
You will reroll after starting the game and completing the 20-minute tutorial. All the free packs for getting started have been opened at this point, and you’ll be spending provided currency to continue opening packs.
How to reroll in Pokemon TCG Pocket
To reroll, players will need to follow the steps below:
Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates on Esports, Gaming and more.
- On the home screen, select the three-bar button at the bottom-right corner of the screen
- Tap “Other”
- Tap “Account”
- Tap “Delete Save Data”
- Read the confirmation and tap “Delete”
Once this is done, the app data will be wiped from the device. This is permanent. There is no way to go back and retrieve this once you delete it. Because of this, we advise that players who will be enrolling ensure there is nothing they are attached to on the account.
It is also important to note that the cards received in the first booster pack will be roughly the same for every player, so this pack won’t change no matter how often you reset.
Is it worth it to reroll in Pokemon TCG Pocket?
It depends on how much you want a specific card. This is because Pokemon Pocket tends to give away lots of packs for free, with two a day if you spread it out and more available if you complete tasks and spend Pack Hourglasses.
Rerolling takes time, and the more time you spend resetting the app, the longer it will take to get into the other app mechanics. Sometimes, it’s better to just jump into the game and chase for a specific card, rather than wasting tons of time with rerolls.
As the Mythical Island expansion is here, there are also more junk cards to sift through than there were in the Genetic Apex era. This means the meta has moved on, so only take the time to reroll if you badly need a card for a competitive deck.
