Since the arrival of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket there’s been all sorts of number crunching and simulations breaking down how long it could potentially take to collect every card in the game. Now, one Reddit user known as ‘Weens4Life’ has decided to simply buy everything and it’s cost them a total of $1,500 USD to get “every single card” in the game right now.
Completing the “base card dex” apparently costs “about $200” but they opened 1741 packs all up. And surprisingly in that time frame, they didn’t get a single God pack (a pack filled with rare cards). What’s perhaps most unfortunate about all of this though is that there’s supposedly “no reward”…
“I have collected every card. It cost $1500 to do so. Completing the base card dex costs about $200. It took opening 1741 packs and collecting 8582 cards. There is no reward for doing this. I pulled 4 crown rares in that time, and had to purchase Pikachu in the pity shop. I pulled zero god packs. Collecting the final 3 full art cards took the most amount of time. Venasaur, Gengar, and Machamp. Full art Machamp was my final card. I reached level 47 after collecting my final card.”
Keep in mind the amount it takes to complete the current Pokédex in the game could easily vary from player to player, as it’s all random drops at the end of the day. One other thing to factor in – is this is just the start of this game’s life on mobile devices, with the development team already confirming more booster packs are on the way.
