Shop Tickets are really important when it comes to Pokemon TCG Pocket because it allows you to buy Hourglasses and some item cards. The problem is that you can only get 6 a day and you need a ton to buy out the monthly hourglasses.
Every Way To Get Shop Tickets
- People liking your Showcase
- Thanks from Battles
- Thanks from Wonder Picks
- Event Rewards
- Battle Task Rewards
- Daily Gift
There is a limit of 5 Shop Tickets rewards that you can get per day from stuff like Showcase Likes, Thanks from Battle, and Thanks from Wonder Picks. You also get another 1 Shop Ticket from the Daily Gift.
The rewards from Battle Tasks can only be gotten once and Event Reward Shop Tickets (Solo Battle Drop Events) have a chance to drop with every win.
Easiest Way To Get Shop Tickets
The easiest way is to trade likes on Showcases with your friends or random people on your Friends list. Since there is no chatting in game it might be hard to find random people to consistently trade likes with but if you find them, you don’t have to do much work besides giving likes back.
Make sure your Showcase is Public. If your Showcase is not public other people cannot like it and give you Shop Tickets. You can find the option in My Cards > Binders > Edit or Create New > Top Left Select Public > Save.
If you don’t want to rely on Showcase Likes, the other reliable way is through battles.
Free Trick for Easy Thanks From Battles
You can either have real matches with people in the Versus section to get likes or do Private Matches with people who just want to trade likes.
If you don’t want to have real matches go to Versus and select Private Match. Then Enter the password, Thanks. You’ll get matched up with people that are just looking to concede matches and give Thanks to each other.
It does not matter who concedes since losses do not show up anywhere in the game. This is a quick way to get your daily Thanks if you don’t have friends or people to trade likes on your showcase.
Best Way To Spend Shop Tickets
If you’re just starting out in the game, the most important thing to buy out is the Pack Hourglass in the Monthly Shop. Hold off on getting the regular Hourglasses until you buy out the entire monthly shop.
I don’t recommend getting the Genetic Apex covers and Accessories until you have a big surplus of Shop Tickets. Which you should have when a big event comes out like a new mini set.
The item cards are good to get if you want to get into PVP but don’t buy more than 2.
Every Way To Get Special Shop Tickets
- Buy from Shop (costs 300 Shop Tickets)
- Exchange 1 star rarity cards and up from the Obtain Flair option
I do not suggest going for these tickets. The only thing you can currently purchase is the Special Set, Coin, Card Sleeve, Playmat, backdrop, and cover. It costs too much and you would need a ton of copies of special cards which can, potentially, be used in the future for trading.
