Will Hourglasses from the Pokémon Pocket TCG Event Transfer? Excitement Builds as Lapras Event Concludes

The Lapras EX event in the Pokemon TCG Pocket has wrapped up, leaving players with their final packs, free-flying Lapras, and a stash of store tickets. Now, the lingering question for those who have stockpiled event hourglasses is: will these treasures be useful in future PvE events?

According to discussions on the Pokemon Pocket Reddit, the hourglasses are still tucked away in players’ inventories. While this isn’t a concrete confirmation, it hints at their potential utility in forthcoming events. If this pans out, it’s great news for those who’ve been saving up those hourglasses for a special occasion.

You might wonder why anyone would bother collecting these hourglasses in the first place. They aren’t necessary to snag every promo card in the next event, barring some seriously unfortunate luck. However, they could help maximize your gains on some event-specific cards. Maybe you’re not a Lapras fan—I get it, neither am I. But imagine a Metagross event comes along; I’d be all set to use a stockpile of hourglasses to snag an exclusive shiny version.

For the majority of players, these hourglasses might find their purpose in the upcoming, albeit rumored, Venusaur event. Buzz from dataminers hints at it happening later this year, possibly around November or December. Given Venusaur’s popularity, it’s easy to imagine folks eagerly spending their hourglass stash for a shot at the big guy—assuming the datamined information holds true. Or maybe it’ll be another surprise altogether. Either way, it’s a golden opportunity to spend those saved hourglasses.
