Item Rewards

There are a variety of rewards available for each difficulty level, including XP, Hourglasses, Shinedust, and more.

• Hourglasses can be used to decrease the timers on your pack openings.
• Shinedust can be used to add Flair to your Pokémon, which is a cosmetic change only.
• When you have enough copies of a specific card, you can trade copies of it along with Shinedust in order to obtain a Sparkles: Gold Flair, which can then be used on the remaining copies of the same card.
• Once you have unlocked Sparkles: Gold Flair, you can then continue to unlock more expensive Flair.
• Typically, you obtain Shinedust by getting duplicate copies of cards.
