Pokémon Quest F2P PM Ticket and Base Camp Decoration Order

Free-to-play players in Pokémon Quest receive 50 PM Tickets every 22 hours through the Poké Mart Member Service. The most efficient way to spend this limited income is to buy storage expansions first, followed by the 50-ticket ingredient cushions. Saving immediately for high-cost decorations like the Mewtwo Arch stalls camp growth by starving you of cooking supplies and inventory space.

Immediate Priority: Storage Box Expansions

Before purchasing decorative camp items, spend your first PM Tickets on storage capacity. You begin the game with a cap of 20 Pokémon and 20 Power Stones, which quickly halts expedition farming once you clear the early stages.

Power Stone Storage (50 PM Tickets per 20 slots): Expand this to at least 60 slots early. Higher stages drop Bronze and Silver Power Stones with valuable stats like Hit Healing and Critical Hit Rate. Without extra space, you must stop to recycle stones after nearly every run.
Pokémon Storage (50 PM Tickets per 20 slots): Add one or two expansions to reach 40 to 60 slots. You need room to store duplicate Pokémon for Move-Learning and Level-Up Training rather than discarding them prematurely.

Spending 150 to 200 PM Tickets on raw capacity allows uninterrupted grinding and smoother team management.

Second Priority: Ingredient Multiplier Cushions

Once your inventory is manageable, buy the three elemental cushions. Camp decorations in Pokémon Quest provide permanent account-wide passive bonuses as soon as you own them; you do not need to place an item on your campsite ground to activate its effect.

Decoration	Cost	Drop Multiplier	Primary Cooking Utility
Vaporeon Cushion	50 PM Tickets	Blue Ingredients x1.5	Icy Rocks and Bluk Berries for Water and Rock recipes
Flareon Cushion	50 PM Tickets	Red Ingredients x1.5	Tiny Mushrooms and Big Roots for Fire and Fighting pots
Jolteon Cushion	50 PM Tickets	Yellow Ingredients x1.5	Apricorns and Honey for Electric and Psychic recipes
Dodrio Tent	100 PM Tickets	Gray Ingredients x1.5	Fossils and Balm Mushrooms for Machop and Onix recipes

These items offset the steep costs of upgraded cooking pots. While the starter Iron Pot consumes only 3 ingredients per slot, the Bronze Pot requires 10 per slot and the Silver Pot demands 15 per slot. Purchasing the three 50-ticket cushions costs 150 PM Tickets—three days of daily claims—and provides the material income required to continuously attract higher-tier Pokémon. Pick up the Dodrio Tent shortly after when you begin targeting gray-heavy recipes.

Why the Mewtwo Arch Should Wait

The Mewtwo Arch costs 700 PM Tickets, requiring 14 consecutive days of saving with zero other ticket spending.

Its sole benefit is raising your maximum expedition battery capacity from 5 to 6. It does not shorten the 30-minute recovery time per battery bar. The extra slot only matters if you leave the game idle for more than two and a half hours. Sacrificing two weeks of inventory space and ingredient multipliers just to bank one additional charge while asleep delays your team's progression.

Mid-Game: Training Boosts and Expensive Statues

After establishing your ingredient multipliers and stabilizing both storage boxes near 100 slots, shift your tickets toward training efficiency:

Move-Learning items: Items that raise Move-Learning success rates provide immediate value when rolling essential moves like Bulk Up, Hydro Pump, or Psychic.
EXP Flags: The Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle Flags boost Level-Up Training experience. While higher-level cooking pots naturally yield higher-level recruits, these flags still speed up stat growth when tuning your core lineup.
Mewtwo Arch and 2x drop statues: Reserve 700-ticket purchases for the late game, after your team is clearing high-level stages and your camp infrastructure is complete.
