Pokemon TCG Pocket players fed up with “useless” rewards
Pokemon TCG Pocket players are unhappy with one particular currency that they claim to be “useless” in the game.
Unless you’re willing tospend over $100 a day in Pokemon TCG Pocket, there are plenty of things you’ll need to keep an eye out for if you want to snatch some of thebest cardsas well as rewards. Often, devs would add many different events to allow players to get the latter.
Only problem is… while getting freebies is great in writing, fans aren’t particularly fond of getting one exact reward that’s “useless” over and over again.
That reward is none other thanShinedust, a currency that can be used to imbue your cards with unique visuals.

In the game, Shinedust can be obtained by opening duplicate cards. Though players can also get them from completinga plethora of missionsand achievements as rewards. Later, you may use this currency tocraft Flairsto the cards.
Flairs don’t change the cards’ stats at all. Instead, they give them a touch of personalization with special visual effects. But in a game where collectingmeta cardshelps you increase your chances of winning, it’s easy to see why fans are unhappy that they end up getting a lot of this instead of more “useful” things.
In aReddit thread, one frustrated user wrote, “Gods forbid they give us something useful as a reward. Swap out that useless Shinedust for trade currency, and now we’re talking.”
A lot of players in the comments echoed the same sentiment, suggesting that there should be more Hourglasses, which are used to open more packs. “And more hourglasses. Not a lot. Like just give us 1-3. Instead of 1000 Shinedust,” said one user.
Another user said: “Back when we thought it might be used for trading, I was all for it. Now it’s literally worthless to me; why would I grab flair for my rare cards when I could be grinding down extras into trade currency?”

Meanwhile, one user wrote: “Literally any currency is better than this.”
‘I like the rewards. But I agree the dust is useless, and I’d much rather have trade tokens,” one chimed in.
Aside fromHourglasses, other players have suggested that Shinedust should be replaced with Shop Tickets and Trade Tokens.
