In Pokémon TCG Pocket, opening a new booster pack for free requires waiting through a 12-hour cooldown. This is where the Pack Hourglass comes into play.

How to get Pack Hourglass in Pokemon TCG Pocket easily
To open a booster pack by default, you’ll need 12 Hourglasses. Luckily, there are several ways to earn Pack Hourglasses to build up your collection.
The first method is completing beginner missions, which can be wrapped up in about 20 minutes, rewarding you with a total of 120 Hourglasses, enough for 10 booster packs. Additionally, daily missions grant an extra 3 hourglasses each day.
Completing the beginner missions unlocks the advanced missions, which rewards you with an additional 120 Pack Hourglasses upon completion.
The second method is through PvP. After unlocking PvP mode, complete the beginner’s guide, and you’ll be rewarded with 12 hourglasses.
The third method involves collecting Shop Tickets. Every 2 Shop Tickets can be exchanged for 1 Hourglass. You can acquire Shop Tickets daily in the shop or by participating in Wonder Picks.
If you’re earning more than the average salary, spending your money on the premium pass unlocks the premium missions that grant extra Hourglasses.
Additionally, purchasing Poke Gold allows you to reduce the timer by one hour per use, helping you open booster packs more frequently.
