Flairs are a decorative way to customize favorite cards in Pokémon TCG: Pocket. Up to four different effects can be unlocked for a card. A player on Reddit has now discovered a flair that he has rarely seen in others.
What flair did the user find? User not_a_m0d shares in his thread on Reddit that he found a cool flair that he is not sure many people know about. It is a flair that covers your card with small Pokéballs.
He discovered the flair when he took a closer look at the Pokéball card. He noticed that the Pokéball cards needed to unlock the flair can simply be bought in the shop for 2 tickets each. So if you have a Pokéball card, you only need to invest 6 shop tickets to acquire 3 more cards and exchange them for the flair. Not_a_m0d shares this insight with the community.
“I don’t regret this resource investment.”
What does the community think of this? Many players in the comments appreciate the tip and follow his advice. However, some need far more resources than the 6 shop tickets, as the flair is not the first one that can be unlocked by every player.
Which flair you have on the respective cards at which of the 4 possible unlockable spots depends on your first drawn booster pack. Therefore, the flair can appear in different spots and require more resources.
Many fans do not mind this and are excited about the special flair, as item cards are often used and included in almost every deck:
- For example, user RosenProse comments via Reddit: “When I found out it was a flair for Pokéballs, I immediately got it. I don’t regret this resource investment.”
- User UnburnedChurch (via Reddit) replies that he got two of them directly because of the thread.
- Ico12 shares (via Reddit): “Thanks, I just destroyed an opponent with my brand new Pokeball flairs, fresh from the store. The poor guy had no chance against my Starmie-Ex, which also had a flair.”
Some players have also discovered the flair for other cards, such as the Pokédex or some colorless Pokémon.
However, not everyone finds this approach sensible. Some players comment that it is a waste of shop tickets to spend them on purely cosmetic items. 6 shop tickets are still 2 hourglasses, which can be used to open booster packs faster.
Whether the shop tickets are well invested or not depends on how important cosmetic items and a highly personalized deck are to you. However, those who find both important need as many resources as possible.
