Summary
Pokemon TCG Pocketis finally being rolled out worldwide. There are thousands of people opening up virtual packs of Pokemon cards right now but before you rush off to join them, know that the app has a free trial that not only gets you an extra pack of Pokemon cards to open each day, but also a Pikachu Illustration Rare that can be unlocked by completing the first set of challenges attached to the game’s premium pass.
Completing those challenges will also get you Premium Tickets, and these are what you need to unlock the Pikachu Illustration Rare. You only need one of them to unlock the card, and since you will have opened a pack or two already by this point, some of the premium challenges should be completed and their rewards ready to claim by the time you unlock the premium pass.
