Summary

  • Completing Solo Battles in Pokemon TCG Pocket lacks a rewarding end goal, disappointing players like Arsh_Nanda.
  • Despite offering challenges and rewards, Solo Battles lack a concluding or unique reward for players' dedication.
  • While DeNA introduces engaging events like PvE and Wonder Pick, players hope for more single-player content, like a story mode.

A Pokemon TCG Pocket player has pointed out the missed opportunity to reward players for completing all the stages of Solo Battles. While Pokemon TCG Pocket players can assemble their decks and jump into PvP matches, Solo Battles offers a single-player experience of the iconic card game.

In addition to serving as Pokemon TCG Pocket's PvE mode, Solo Battles are a way to test decks and earn rewards by facing off against bots. This mode is divided into four difficulties; Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert, which give players tasks to complete, such as beating a bot using a Lightning-type attack. By completing the battles for the first time, players will earn hourglass packs, shinedust, shop tickets, and more tickets by clearing the tasks. But recently, a community member noticed how Solo Battles could use an upgrade.

Redditor Arsh_Nanda said they were disappointed that players don't get a reward for completing all Solo Battles. In the post, they lamented that the game doesn't even give out a secret Pokemon TCG Pocket trainer card, a sentiment shared by players in the comments section. One said they would have liked getting a “cool cosmetic card,” even if it wasn't competitive. In a second comment, a Redditor suggested that "even a coin or a sleeve" would also be a interesting reward for them, which others agreed with.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Players Hope for More Solo Battles Content

While completing Solo Battles has become a frustrating experience for players, DeNA is gradually turning it more engaging by introducing events for the community. The first featured the Lapras ex card as the main reward, while Pokemon TCG Pocket's second PvE event, which will end in the next few days, is giving away a full art Venusaur card as the top prize. Despite this, other players, including a comment on the OP post, still hope Solo Battles will gain more single-player content, such as a story mode.

The devs have not yet given any indication that they plan to add a story mode to Pokemon TCG Pocket or other content for Solo Battles. Despite this, the card game has been receiving new events periodically, such as the new Wonder Pick featuring Bulbasaur and Magnemite cards. Previously, the game had a special Wonder Pick with Meowth and Chansey cards, and the PvP mode won an event rewarding special badges. With this, players hope DeNA will address feedback and introduce more PvE content in the coming months.
