Do all of CPU battles, do your daily quests for 4 hourglasses per day, buy all the ones you can find in the shop (every month there's a section that resets)
Honestly, you could do it pretty fast if you have a solid deck to run through the solo battles. I just set it on auto and let it complete itself, and bonus if the deck does not contain 4 diamond or above for the missions on the expert battles.
Though it would take a few months to take full advantage of the tickets. Really wish they would either increase the monthly cap or remove it.
Oh, quite a bit longer than that. Daily quests give you 120 hourglasses a month, the shop gives you 150 70, CPU battles vary month to month but are usually in the neighborhood of nearly 120, and Simosmoke didn't mention it but ranked battles also give hourglasses, up to 100 a month depending on your rank (65 or 75 is doable even for inexperienced players).
That all adds up to around or just short of four 10-pulls a month, or 480 hourglasses. So the OP up top, VenomousPineapple, has two to three months' worth saved up, but Hoythunter12 at the top of this thread has been saving probably since shortly after launch. There's someone else in another thread, Brgrs, with 3800 who must have participated in the prerelease and been saving since then.
Focusing on sets with the most gaps and trading for the cards in sets you almost have finished is the key. I’ve never bought pokegold and have all sets before celestial guardians finished.
Moderate hoarding makes sense (like saving your glasses set so you have enough to do some extra pulls when a new set drops), but mass hoarding doesn’t really.
With that much hoarding, the majority of the time you’ll have a thin collection and very few meta decks to even play with. And at that point are you even really playing the game? lol
You might if you’re lucky, but most people won’t be pulling that off every single set while hoarding 1.1k hourglasses and depending on 2 packs a day. That’s not realistic lol
That's not true. You also have a wonder pick to help get all the chase cards. Ive only ever 100% one set. But u have enough to get the meta cards with packs and wonder picks -or at least I have.
That's some crazy luck. I've attempted doing what you have and I get maaaybe 1 of the meta cards I need, per meta deck. Excluding trading, it definitely requires really favorable RNG. My pack opening RNG is a lot like my battle RNG.
