How Long Does it Take to Replenish Pack Stamina?

12 Hours for One Pack Stamina

Pack Stamina Timer on the Home Screen
Each pack stamina takes 12 hours to replenish, allowing you to get two pack stamina every day if you don’t use items.

You can find the countdown timer for your next pack stamina below the booster packs in the Home screen. You can also find it at the top of the booster pack menu when selecting a booster pack to open.

How Booster Packs Work

Even With a Premium Pass, Wait Time is 12 Hours

Pokemon TCG Pocket - Premium Pass

Those who have a Premium Pass subscription will not get any reduced wait time for both pack stamina and wonder stamina.

The Premium Pass only adds a separate pack stamina with its own timer as well as more opportunities to earn both Pack Hourglasses and Wonder Hourglasses.

Is Premium Pass Worth It?

Caps at 2 Pack Stamina

Maximum of Two Pack Stamina
You can only get up to 2 pack stamina in your main pack stamina gauge before it stops replenishing, allowing you to open only 2 booster packs at a time without using items.

The timer for pack stamina recovery will stop once you have both of your pack stamina available. It will only start counting down from 12 hours again once you use at least one of your pack stamina to open a booster pack.

Premium Pass users will have a separate pack stamina gauge for their extra daily booster pack. This has a separate timer and can only provide one pack stamina per day.

How to Get Pack Stamina Without Waiting

Use Pack Hourglasses

Pokemon TCG Pocket - Pack Hourglass Time Reduction

You can use Pack Hourglasses to replenish your pack stamina instead of waiting. Each Pack Hourglass is equivalent to 1 hour of wonder stamina recovery, so you’ll need to use 12 Wonder Hourglasses to fill one newly emptied wonder stamina.

How to Farm Pack Hourglasses

Use Poke Gold

A bar of Poke Gold is equivalent to 2 hours of pack stamina recovery, but it is in more limited supply for free-to-play users.

Poke Gold can only be obtained by purchasing it from the Shop using real money or by leveling up. You can also only use a maximum of 720 Poke Gold in a day to open packs.

Best Way to Use Pack Stamina

Open a Booster Pack

Pokemon TCG Pocket - Opening Packs

Pack stamina is used to open booster packs and add cards to your collection. You can choose which booster pack to open from the available packs. Each will have cards exclusive to them, so it’s best to consider which cards you want to get before choosing a pack to open.

Generally, the Mewtwo pack is the best one to open if you’re just starting out and trying to build your own decks.

Best Pack to Open

Opening 10 Booster Packs Requires Items

Since you can only have up to 2 pack stamina (or 3 with a Premium Pass), choosing to open 10 packs at once will require you to use either Pack Hourglasses or Poke Gold.

It’s only recommended to choose opening 10 booster packs if you’re willing to use up these items. It would also be better to do this once your pack stamina is fully replenished to minimize the amount of items you need to use.
