One of the currencies you can find in the Pokemon Pocket Trading Card Game, often called Pokemon TCG Pocket, are store tickets. Shop Tickets are used within the game's shop to purchase hourglasses, binder covers, and other cards. Spending your shop tickets on these item cards and support cards is the most strategic use, but if you're running out of patience, you can spend them on hourglasses to open more packs or to take a card from other random players. You can never have enough store tickets, so let's break down all the ways to collect them.
Request your free set of items
Every day, at the top of the shop, you can request a daily gift. This resets every day at midnight and always contains a shop ticket. Even though it's not much, it's free every day, so don't forget to grab it.
Missions
There are a large number of quests within the Pokemon Pocket Trading Card Game, which give a variety of different rewards. Some of them distribute tickets to the shops.
Dex Missions
If you go to your missions and scroll down to Dex, you can get shop tickets for completing missions in this section. They all revolve around registering a specific number of cards in your Dex.
Premium missions
If you subscribe to a Premium Pass, you can request premium missions. These quests are the same type of quests you'll see in your daily quests, but instead of giving away hourglasses (since they only give hourglasses in daily quests), many of these quests have store tickets as a reward.
Battle tasks
Just like missions, there is a secondary list of battle tasks. These are broken down in the Battle menu, in the Single Player category. These battle tasks give different rewards for each one completed, often giving away shop tickets. Sometimes they require you to do a specific thing in a battle, like playing X number of starter Pokemon or beating an opponent using a specific deck.
When you start with the battle assignments, you'll find that you'll get more shop tickets as you increase the difficulty, with 3 shop tickets rewarded for the beginner battle assignments, 4 shop tickets rewarded for the intermediate battle assignments, and 5 Store Tickets rewarded for Advanced and Expert Battle Tasks.
From the Battle menu you can also go to the Guide, which is a very long tutorial on the Battle aspect of the game. This guide awards shop tickets as you complete each chapter.
Other players
Other players can give you a shop ticket if they send you a thank you. This can be done after another player uses your card pack for their miracle choice or after a battle. This method relies on the help of another player, but can give you a shop ticket as a thank you, so it can boost it.
You can also get store tickets by liking posts found in the community showcase within the social hub, if you want to give some away.
Themed collections
When you open card packs, you will get new cards added to your Dex. If you complete a themed collection, you will get tickets to the shop. This is a little difficult to get, as many of the cards you get depend on luck, but you can also get some shop tickets through your collections.
