Flair
Flair is a type of accessory that can be found in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. It is used to customise the display of cards in battle, either while in play or on entering the field.
In most circumstances, each card has four different flairs that can be purchased for it.
Types of flair
There are two different types of flair:
- Battle flair is displayed in battle, when a card is put into play.
- Cosmetic flair is displayed while a card is in battle, included in a binder, or showcased on a display board.
Flair cost
Flair is usually purchased using card duplicates and Shinedust. A card's rarity will determine how many duplicates, and how much Shinedust, is needed to purchase each flair. For cards with any Diamond rarity, each flair only becomes available once the previous flair has been purchased for that card; for cards of any Star or Crown rarity, all flairs are available to purchase immediately, as is a special exchange for Special Shop Tickets. The only exception is Supporter cards with a 
rarity, which have no flairs available and can only be exchanged for Special Shop Tickets.
For promotional cards, only one duplicate of the card is needed to purchase each flair, and flairs must be purchased in order. The only exception is promotional cards of which only one copy is obtainable, which only require Shinedust in exchange for flairs, and their flairs be obtained in any order. Promotional cards cannot be exchanged for Special Shop Tickets. The amount of Shinedust required to purchase flair for promotional cards varies, generally aligning with non-promotional counterparts:
- Full art promotional cards have the same Shinedust costs as cards of rarity.
- Promotional cards of Pokémon-ex have the same Shinedust costs as cards of
rarity. - Promotional cards with silver borders have the same Shinedust costs as cards of rarity.
- Promotional cards with no special designs have the same Shinedust costs as cards of rarity.
Duplicate cards can only be exchanged for flair if the player will have at least two copies of the card remaining after making the exchange.
