The Pokemon TCG Pocket event featuring Lapras EX has wrapped up. With all the final packs handed out and Lapras cards soaring through collections, players have earned a remarkable number of store tickets. However, for those who’ve been diligently saving their event hourglasses, there’s one pressing question: will these hourglasses be useful in future PvE events?
If you’ve been following the discussions on the Pokemon Pocket subreddit, you might have noticed that these hourglasses are still resting in players’ inventories. While this hints, though doesn’t guarantee, that they might have applications in upcoming events, it’s hopeful news for those stockpiling them for a bigger payoff down the line.
Now, you might be wondering why you’d want to stash these hourglasses. True, you won’t need a ton to score all the promo cards in the next event (unless luck isn’t on your side), but they could give you an edge in maxing out flair for a card you’re more fond of. Perhaps Lapras wasn’t your go-to Pokémon—it’s not everyone’s favorite. But imagine if a Metagross event came around; you could cash in your hourglasses for some extra, rare sparkle.
For most players, it seems those hourglasses may come in handy soon, potentially during the Venusaur event that dataminers have uncovered. This event looks like it’s slated for later this year, come November or December. Given Venusaur’s popularity, it’s easy to predict that many players will eagerly use up their hourglasses on this fan-favorite. Of course, datamines are never a sure thing, and plans could shift, leading to something entirely unexpected. Either way, it presents a great opportunity for those eager to make the most of their hourglass collection.
