The new free-to-play mobile title Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has already taken the world by storm, even though it’s less than a week old by the time of writing this.
Naturally, the speed at which Pokémon TCG Pocket has risen to fame has resulted in a lot of misinformation spreading around, like a bunch of myths regarding how to pull super secret cards and weird ways in which you can increase the odds of pulling certain chase cards in packs.
Over on the r/PTCGP subreddit, user smtr- wanted to try clearing a few of these myths up and help offer newer players some basic advice.

Probably the most useful piece of info for players is their guidance on how to narrow down your search for specific cards, which smtr- explains is possible by “toggling the card dex in your collection” as this will allow players “to see which pack a certain card is from so you can pull for it”.
Another user in the thread also had a handy piece of info for players looking to track down cards that they can wishlist.
“Easiest place for me was the pack point exchange menu. (The place where you spend your booster pack loyalty points on targeted cards)” explained handtoglandwombat, “You can highlight any card in the set and then click the heart in the top right hand corner.”
In case you're just jumping into Pokémon TCG Pocket, I also highly suggest giving SuperDuperDani's guide "10 BEST Tips for Pokémon TCG Pocket!" over on YouTube a look.

There’s a bunch of useful info in here, but probably the most useful bit is at the very start of the video - where SuperDuperDani specifies how to tell the difference between the pulls you can get from card packs with the same name, but different kinds of artwork.
