What Should You Do With Duplicate Cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket?
If you click on the cards in your collection, you will see a button that says’Obtain Flair.' By giving up some of the copies of your card, you can add visual cosmetic flourishes to your card that show up during Pokemon battles. You also need to pay upShinedust, obtained by completing certain missions inPokemon TCG Pocketor by opening new card packs.
And for your duplicate rare cards, the Obtain Flair menu will give you the option to exchange your cards forSpecial Shop Tickets. You also need Shinedust for this. The tickets will let you buyAccessoriesin the shop, like special coins, sleeves, and playmats. The shop doesn’t have that many items as of the time of writing, but as more updates get added over time, there are bound to be more items to buy.
Obtaining Flair for a Pokemon card will not give players any advantagesduring online battles-it’s simply for style. It’s also worth noting that trading will eventually be added to the game, so if you don’t want Shop Tickets or Flair, maybe consider saving some rarer cards for trades down the road.
