- Earn Pack Hourglasses and Trade Tokens at no cost
- Complete missions before July 30th
- Consider saving Trade Tokens for the upcoming Trade feature update
Following the recent announcement about the Trading feature overhaul, Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket is back in the spotlight with its ongoing Summer Event Missions.
While not as groundbreaking as yesterday's news, this event still brings plenty of excitement, particularly with a Nine-Card Frame backdrop available as a reward - and it's surprisingly easy to add to your collection.
The latest Pokemon TCG Pocket update lets players complete missions to earn Pack Hourglasses and Trade Tokens, which is interesting timing since these items will be phased out when the Trade feature update launches on July 29th. You can still exchange them for Pack Hourglasses and Shinedust, so having a reserve certainly won't hurt.

The missions themselves are straightforward: Wonder Pick three times, participate in five battles, or use stamina to open five booster packs - with other tasks following similar patterns. Since you'll likely complete these through normal daily gameplay, that Nine-Card Frame backdrop will probably be yours sooner than expected.
The Summer Event Missions remain available until July 30th, giving players ample time to complete them all.
If you want to join the action, download Pokemon TCG Pocket from the App Store or Google Play - and don't forget to vote for it in our Pocket Gamer People's Choice Award 2025! Voting closes at midnight on July 31st, so be sure to cast your vote while you can.
