Pokémon Trading Card Game Online: Difference between revisions

There are four main currencies in PTCGO. These are Tokens, Gems, Booster Credits, and Tournament Keys. Only Tokens and Booster Credits are currently obtainable.

===Tokens===

Trainer Tokens are obtained in various parts of the game, such as Trainer Challenges and Tutorials. They are tied to the accounts, so they may be used on [[Pokémon.com]]. Trainer Tokens may also be used for trading cards.

Booster Credits were used to purchase booster packs in game. They could be obtained from redeeming codes on code cards, available in {{TCG|Black & White}} booster packs and onward. Originally, code cards found in packs from this era, were redeemed for Booster Credits. Booster Credits could be redeemed for packs from {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} through {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} sets. This method ended with the release of {{TCG|Plasma Storm}} when codes from Plasma Storm packs were only redeemable for packs from that set. This method continued with {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} until the Booster Credit system was ended in July 2013. From July 2013 to December 2013, players with Booster Credits redeemed before July 2013 could redeem these credits for any pack from {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} to {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} sets. The players who still had Booster Credits at the end of 2013 had any remaining credits automatically redeemed for {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} packs. The current system redeems codes directly for packs from the respective set and the Booster Credit system has been rendered obsolete.

Tournament Keys are currently unobtainable. They will be used to gain access to certain tournaments by redeeming the amount of keys needed to enter. It is unknown how these keys will be acquired.
