In Pokémon TCG Pocket there are different items and currencies that players can use to facilitate card collection. However, one item is so unpopular among fans that they accumulate it over a million times.
What item is it about? The Stardust (in English: Flair) can be added to Pokémon TCG Pocket cards for effects. It is purely cosmetic and has no influence on the individual abilities of the cards. The decoration flairs can only be seen in your collection, while the battle flairs can also be seen in battles.
There are even flairs that can only be used for individual cards. The Pokéball can be decorated with smaller Pokéballs. However, many players do not use this function at all. They are now complaining on Reddit about how cumbersome this function is.
The new expansion brings new flairs with it:
Stardust is not used by many players
Why is it so unpopular? As many users on Reddit write, they have not used a single Stardust since day one. Since the item is only used for cosmetics, many trainers probably have no interest in it.
One user writes that he tried the function only once and then never used it again. He received the most approvals with over 1,900 likes. So many will probably have only applied the effect to a card once and then left it.
From the comments, it emerges that the system is “annoying and cumbersome”. It requires many clicks before you have the effect on your card. Additionally, duplicate cards are needed for the effect, which are destroyed in the process. Many would prefer to keep the cards for the trading function, where you can receive trading tokens through duplicate cards.
What is the consequence? Because collectors do not use their Stardust, they accumulate the item. In the thread creator’s case, the exact number is no longer displayed; he has already accumulated at least 100,000 Stardust. Other users also have a five-digit number of the item.
If users do use the function, it is often for cards that appear in many decks. These include Professor’s Research, Pokéball, or X-Initiative. They also appear in the best decks that you can use in PvP: Pokémon TCG Pocket: Best Meta Decks with Collision of Space and Time in the Tier List
