Pokémon TCG Pocket is more than just about collecting and battling—it’s also about resource management. Among the various systems the game introduces, Crafting Pack Points (CPP) stand out as a central currency for building your collection in a strategic way. Unlike the random nature of pack opening, CPP allows you to work toward specific cards with more control, ensuring that your favorite Pokémon or competitive staples don’t remain locked behind luck. This guide will break down everything you need to know about Crafting Pack Points, how to earn them, the best strategies to use them efficiently.

What are Pack Points?

Pack Points are a special type of resource in Pokémon TCG Pocket that reward you for consistently opening packs. Think of them as a “pity” or progress meter: instead of being entirely at the mercy of random card pulls, Pack Points steadily build up and eventually guarantee you a better outcome.

Depending on the system, Pack Points can be used in one of two ways:

Pack Point Meter for Guaranteed Rewards – Every time you open a pack, your Pack Point bar fills. When it reaches a certain threshold, you’re guaranteed a Rare or higher card, ensuring that long streaks of bad luck don’t leave you empty-handed.

Conversion into Crafting Pack Points (CPP) – In some cases, Pack Points also tie into the crafting system, giving you resources to directly create cards instead of relying on RNG.

The result is that no pack you open is wasted. Even if you pull commons you don’t need, you’re still progressing toward a guaranteed payoff. Pack Points are important for both collectors and competitive players since they lessen the reliance on RNG. Imagine opening 30 packs and not getting a single Rare you need—Pack Points ensure that your investment is not squandered. Pack Points let casual players complete collections more realistically over time. For competitive players, they serve as a safety net, allowing them to secure key deck cards without relying solely on luck.

How to Earn Crafting Pack Points in Pokemon Pocket?

Earning CPP in Pokémon TCG Pocket takes time—it’s dependent on how you open packs and handle your cards. Here are the basic ways you can increase CPP:

Disenchanting Duplicate Cards – The main source of CPP comes from converting duplicate cards you don’t need. Since you can only include up to four copies of a card in your deck, any extras become redundant. Instead of leaving them unused, you can disenchant (or recycle) them for CPP.

Commons give small amounts of CPP.

Uncommons give more than commons.

Rares and higher rarities yield large amounts of CPP when converted.

Special Events and Missions – Occasionally, Pokémon TCG Pocket runs limited-time events where players can earn bonus CPP as rewards. These might be tied to milestones such as:

• Opening a certain number of packs
• Winning battles with specific deck archetypes
• Completing weekly quests

Keeping up with events is crucial since they often give you “free” CPP outside of normal card recycling.

Battle Rewards – Some ranked and casual battle modes provide CPP as progression rewards. The higher you climb, the better the chances of obtaining small but consistent amounts of CPP.

Daily/Weekly Quests/Challenges – Many challenges reward tokens, packs, or crafting resources. Completing these steadily adds to your CPP pool over time.

Pack Point Rewards

The Pack Point system is structured to reward you the longer you go without pulling something valuable. Typical benefits of reaching Pack Point thresholds include:

Guaranteed Rare or higher Pokémon – Prevents long unlucky streaks.

Guaranteed Super Rare or Legendary – Some meters promise a high-tier card after enough pack openings.

Bonus Packs – Filling your Pack Point meter may award additional booster packs, compounding your chances of good pulls.

Crafting Materials – Sometimes Pack Points convert into CPP or other resources you can use to directly craft cards.
