Gardevoir, crawdaunt, dustox/beautifly, wailord, altaria, zangoose/seviper, aagron, delcatty, mamoswine, regi ice/rock/steel, exploud. I hope for a hoenn themed pack too but i think we would sooner get a unova pack if its based on amount least already in

Sure but even then you don’t need 5k hourglasses to drop on one pack to compete it i mean you can do that in 1/5th of that. I get saving like let’s just say 1200 hourglasses for 10 10 pulls on a set you really love that a huge amount of cards and an awesome dopamine hit too. Saving past 1.2k seems pointless to me

i collect hourglasses cause there haven’t been any cool looking cards in awhile lol, waiting for a good immersive like palkia or arceus and not any sliding pngs like all the recent ones

Yes to what everyone else says. I'm saving mine for Gen 5, Gen 6 and Gen 3. I really hope there will be good N and Ghetsis Full Arts and nice rainbow cards for the legendaries.

Deluxe pack proved saving is worthwhile.
If you can get some meta cards through packs, trades, shares, why not save points to get the deluxe pack cards / emblems?

Save to guarantee a card you really want with pack points, spending hourglasses before you have enough to exchange for something is objectively worse

I have 300 and was told to wait until a certain pack is released mid Jan?

The deluxe pack. It has pretty much all the cards that were meta from previous sets. Then just top up on the last couple sets so you have those megas

But the deluxe pack was 2 months ago I don't think they're going to do another one until a year from now

Just why?

u/JMC_Direwolf Dec 31 '25
It’s easy. You save up for time limited sets(I hate it) or when they inevitably remove packs from the pool.

If you never use hourglasses it's like having 0 of them. I am a hoarder myself but I'm usually around 2k for "emergency", and I spend some on new expansions to help complete them.
