To reroll in Pokémon TCG Pocket, start with an unlinked guest account, spend your initial Pack Hourglasses on booster packs, check Wonder Pick for missing pieces, and wipe your save data in the settings menu if you miss your target cards. Do not reinstall the application; using the built-in account deletion tool avoids redownloading large asset files.
How to Reset Your Account Quickly
Reinstalling the client forces you to download multiple gigabytes of game data on every attempt. Using the in-game deletion tool resets your card collection in minutes.
- Launch Pokémon TCG Pocket as a guest without linking a Nintendo Account or Google profile.
- Complete or skip the opening tutorial prompts until you reach the main home menu.
- Open the settings menu by selecting the gear or menu icon in the bottom-right corner.
- Go to the account management section and select the option to delete or reset save data.
- Confirm the deletion prompt to return to the title screen and begin a fresh profile.
Do not link external credentials until you are satisfied with your pulls. Linking an account prematurely binds your seed to that login, requiring extra external unlinking steps if you want to reset.
Tutorial Opening and Resource Sequence
Each new profile receives introductory booster packs, beginner mission rewards, and Pack Hourglasses.
- Skip narrative cutscenes: Tap through initial dialogue prompts to reach pack opening as quickly as possible.
- Open your tutorial booster pack: Complete the scripted initial opening to unlock the home menu.
- Claim beginner missions: Collect the Pack Hourglasses awarded from the initial mission tab.
- Spend all Hourglasses immediately: Use every free Pack Hourglass to reduce pack cooldown timers and open additional boosters right away. Holding these resources on a reroll profile serves no purpose, because unsatisfactory pulls will be discarded.
Priority Target Cards
Aim to assemble the core cards for one coherent archetype rather than collecting isolated high-rarity cards. A deck requires compatible Energy types, evolution lines, and draw consistency to function.
| Priority Tier | Target Cards | Tactical Role in Starter Decks |
|---|---|---|
| Core EX Targets | Mewtwo ex, Pikachu ex, Articuno ex, Charizard ex | Primary deck sweepers and win conditions |
| Meta Enablers | Gardevoir (Ralts/Kirlia), Zapdos ex, Starmie ex | Energy acceleration, bench pressure, and retreat options |
| Staple Supporters | Sabrina, Professor's Research, Poké Ball | Deck searching, hand cycling, and board disruption |
Pikachu ex and Mewtwo ex are the most practical targets for beginners:
- Mewtwo ex: Acts as a high-damage sweeper when supported by the Gardevoir line, which accelerates Psychic Energy from the bench.
- Pikachu ex: Deals efficient 90-damage attacks with minimal setup, requiring only a bench filled with Lightning-type Basic Pokémon.
Check Wonder Pick Before Resetting
Before deleting an account that fell slightly short on pack pulls, check the Wonder Pick menu. Wonder Pick allows you to spend Wonder Stamina to select one random card from a pack opened by another player.
The tutorial grants introductory Wonder Stamina. If a Wonder Pick selection contains an ex card or a key Supporter like Sabrina that completes your intended deck, spend your stamina for a chance to salvage the roll before wiping your data.
When to Stop Rerolling
Stop rerolling once you hit either of these thresholds:
- Two copies of a core tier-one attacker (such as Pikachu ex or Mewtwo ex).
- One copy of a core tier-one ex card alongside its required evolution line (such as Mewtwo ex with Ralts, Kirlia, and Gardevoir) plus staple Trainer cards.
Once you meet your target, go to the settings menu and bind your profile to a permanent Nintendo Account or Google login to secure your cards. You can then begin clearing Solo Battles and daily missions to generate steady pack resources.

Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
This helped me understand strategy much better.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Pokémon TCG Pocket articles next.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
