Flair refers to the decorations you can add to your card in Pokémon TCG Pocket . These can be Cosmetic Flairs , which will appear both in battle and when a card is in a Display Board, and Battle Flairs , which, as the name suggests, only appear in battle.
First things first though - how do you get Flairs in Pokémon TCG Pocket? Well everything has a price and Flairs are no different. To help you figure out exactly how much you'll need to spend we've outlined the Flair costs down below and taken a look at how to get duplicate cards . (Since you may end up needing quite a lot of these.)
So let's take a look at how to get Flair in Pokémon TCG Pocket , along with the differences between Battle and Cosmetic Flairs .

To obtain a Flair in Pokémon TCG Pocket you first need to collect two things - Shinedust and duplicates of the card you wish to add the Flair to. We've got a dedicated guide covering how to obtain Shinedust and look into ways you can obtain card duplicates further along in this guide.
También es importante tener en cuenta que ambos requisitos difieren dependiendo de la rareza de la tarjeta, por lo que deberá asegurarse de tener las cantidades correctas antes de agregar un estilo. Creating a Flair also consumes the duplicate cards , which makes the act adding Flairs also an act of destruction. Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que solo puede agregar dos de cada carta en un mazo y las cartas se pueden reutilizar en múltiples mazos, por lo que no hay necesidad de acumular sus cartas duplicadas.
The amount of Shinedust you'll need to spend will also increase as you unlock more Flairs for a card. Comparar este hecho con los otros requisitos significa que vale la pena planificar a qué tarjeta desea aplicar Flairs, especialmente si desea agregar uno a una tarjeta especialmente rara. It could help prevent any Shinedust farming in your future.
When it comes to adding a Flair itself, you first need to find the card you wish to add one to in your Pokémon card collection. Once found, select the 'Obtain Flair' option. If you're yet to meet all of the requirements, you'll receive a message pointing out that fact to you. If you have met the requirement though, you'll then be sent to a menu where you choose the Flair you wish to add to your card.
Once you've decided upon the Flair you wish to add, select 'Exchange' before confirming you're happy for these duplicate cards to be consumed. You'll then watch a little cutscene showing the Flair being added to the card!
Congratulations - you now own a Flair card!
The amount of Flair options available to you depends on how many Flairs you've locked for a specific card. Por ejemplo, si ha agregado un estilo a una tarjeta Ponyta, esto significa que habrá dos opciones disponibles la próxima vez que desee agregar un toque a una tarjeta Ponyta. Though it should be noted that you can only apply one type of Flair to each individual card . Helpfully, once you're looking at a specific type of card, you can organise them by which ones have Flairs and which don't.
Diamond rarity, Promo and Trainer cards will begin with only one Flair option - the Sparkles Flair: Gold (Cosmetic). Mientras tanto, Gold Star Rarity o cartas superiores comienzan con dos opciones de estilo: Tiny Twinkles Flair: amarillo (batalla) y otro toque de batalla específico de su tipo. This means that Gold Star rarity cards have their first two Flairs automatically unlocked from the moment you obtain the card. We touch upon the difference between Cosmetic and Battle Flairs later on in this guide too.
As you add more Flairs to an individual card, you'll gradually unlock new kinds of Flairs for it. These will often be themed around the Pokémon's type, such as Fire-type cards sprouting flames. Solo recuerde: estos desbloqueos estarán vinculados a la tarjeta individual a la que está aplicando Flairs y, si bien el número de duplicados sigue siendo el mismo, necesitará más brillo para los Flairs más elegantes.
There are some expectations to how Flairs work:
Now let's take a look at the Shinedust cost and duplicate requirements for each type of Pokémon card rarity…
Every Flair you add to a card in Pokémon TCG Pocket costs you a certain amount of Shinedust and duplicate cards. Since Flairs are tied to individual cards and the price increases as you add more, this can quickly become quite the costly activity.
Para ayudarlo a decidir a qué tarjetas desea agregar Flairs, hemos enumerado todos los costos de estilo para cada tipo de rareza de tarjeta, pasando de común a lo más raro, a continuación. This table includes the rising Shinedust card for the four Flairs you can unlock for each card.
Note - cards of Gold Star rarity will have their first two Flair types automatically unlocked from the moment you obtain the card.
| Rareza | Card duplicates required per Flair | Shinedust Cost |
|---|---|---|
| One Grey Diamond Común | 3 |
|
| Two Grey Diamonds Poco común | 2 |
|
| Three Grey Diamonds Extraño | 1 |
|
| Four Grey Diamonds Double Rare / Ultra Rare | 1 |
|
| One Gold Star Illustration Rare | 1 |
|
| Two Gold Stars Special Illustration Rare | 1 |
|
| Three Gold Stars Immersive Cards | 1 |
|
| Corona Hyper Rare | 1 |
|
| Promo (Trainer) | 1 |
|
| Promo (Pokémon) | 1 |

When applying Flairs to your cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you may notice that some are labelled as 'Cosmetic' and others as 'Battle'.
Hay dos diferencias principales entre este tipo de Flairs, y el primero es cómo los 'Flairs de batalla' solo aparecen cuando se usa activamente este Pokémon en la batalla durante un partido de bolsillo Pokémon. This means, unlike 'Cosmetic Flairs', these Flairs will not be shown when you put the card in a Display Board.
Gold Star rarity cards or higher also don't have 'Cosmetic Flairs'. Esto es muy probable porque, debido a las tarjetas de arte completas, ya obtienen una pequeña introducción brillante cuando las coloca en el campo en un partido. Due to this, only Diamond rarity cards have access to both Flair types. While this may be annoying, remember that you can add multiple Flairs to a card so it's not like you're losing out on anything you unlock. (Don't forget that the Flairs you unlock are tied to individual cards.)
Below you'll find a list of the Cosmetic and Battle Flairs we've found so far in Pokémon TCG Pocket:
On the surface obtaining card duplicates in Pokémon TCG Pocket - all you've got to do is open booster packs and try your luck at Wonder Pick . Yet, notice my use of the word 'luck' there? Yeah obtaining duplicates for any card in Pokémon TCG Pocket is nearly completely down to how lady luck favours you. Want to add a Flair to your Common rarity Caterpie? Well you'll still need to obtain at least three duplicates to do so.
There is a way around this though and that's by spending Pack Points . Cubrimos las entradas en nuestra guía de puntos Pokémon TCG Pocket Pack, pero la esencia básica es que ganas puntos de paquete cada vez que abres un paquete de refuerzo. These can then be saved up and spent on a specific card of your choosing. (It's not exactly a pity system like in other gacha games, but it's all Pokémon Pocket has…)
The catch, because there's always a catch, is that you have to open a good number of booster packs to purchase even a Common rarity card. If you're looking at using Pack Points to obtain rarer cards, then you're looking at needing 1,000 or higher points. The super rare golden ex cards, for example, cost 2,500 Pack Points each. For this reason, it's a good idea to spend your Pack Points wisely and possibly not at all for cards you wish to add Flairs too. Después de todo, si bien puede tomar un tiempo reunir suficientes puntos, gastar puntos de paquete es una forma garantizada de obtener una de estas bellezas de Golden Ex para su colección.
Finally, don't forget that the duplicates you use for Flairs will be consumed. Si bien técnicamente solo necesita dos de cada carta, ya que solo dos de cada carta pueden estar dentro de un mazo y las mismas cartas se pueden usar en múltiples mazos, es posible que desee guardarlas para diferentes flairs.
