In Game store: Are there more sleeves etc

[Doomcrow777]

Hi guys, I am fairly new to the game. Just browsing the store, having seen some nice sleeves and deck boxes in games. But there are only a few basic choices of squirtle and charmander etc? Just wondering how I can find the better quality items?

They've had those Kanto gameplay sets -- and only those sets -- in the Shop for what seems like an eternity (well over a year, but maybe two).

 

Like most things in the game, you can either trade, or use code cards from physical products to get other items.  Those are about your only options.

 

Be aware though that several of the gameplay items are not available, trade-locked for one reason or another.  And some others are very expensive.  If you have certain items that you're looking for, it's always best to ask here in the forums to see about value, availability, etc.

Rising levels from challenges at the beginning of the game and reaching level 3 will give you a coin, sleeves and deck box of each type in the game but not from colorless. there are no colorless challenges

Great thank you for the help so basically buying physical items which have codes in the official sleeves and boxes is the only way to pretty up your cards? I guess it's one way of ensuring online only players actually spend real money with the pokemon company haha.

Shannon, I'm working through the trainers so far just a couple of boring designs but if I eventually defeat them all in each tier I suppose I may get some cooler stuff?

It's not my business.  But as a newer player, you should really concentrate on the cards you need.  To heck with the "bling."  Look in the Deck Construction section, and get an idea of what "staple" Trainer cards you will use in almost every deck.  That is the single best strategy for gaining more stuff.  Have a good "trainer engine" with every deck, and win.

 

In the real world, I've been carrying a beat-up cardboard Fossil box for 2 decades.  In it, I've used the same coin and set of dice for years.  I only have $3 deck boxes, and use either plain black or clear sleeves.  Fancy doesn't win games.  I laugh inside whenever someone thinks they're impressing me with more.

 

In the Online game, those multi-color Energy boxes (that are built-in) work great.  Simple, sharp, and easy to identify the decks.  There again, I've collected almost every gameplay item, but only use 2 coins for 99% of my decks.

 

Again, get cards.  If you spend all your resources on deck gear, and lose all the time, what fun is that?

Soon or later you will have all when level 3 and there is no more levels. try to enjoy not only get rewards. will arrive the same.

 

Elite decks and sleeves are not very expensive 1 or 2 packs each part the coin and 1 or 2 the sleeves. You can trade for them in Trade section of the game. check gameplay tab

 

I think RobRatt said good tip. is better 4 regular of a card you need than 1 fullart only so you can complete decks and play better wha tmakes you win more rewards of the game.

 I have to agree. Focus on what you need to win, first. THEN dazzle the opponent with your style.
