Questions about virtual collecting
PackDex FAQ
Answers to genuine questions about PackDex packs, collections, accounts, wishlists, values, and fan-made status.
Is PackDex free to play?
Yes. PackDex is 100% free to play. You can open virtual packs and explore the platform without purchasing physical cards or virtual currency. Cards obtained through PackDex exist only within the simulator and have no redeemable cash value.
Are the cards I pull real?
No. Every PackDex opening is virtual. Cards pulled on PackDex cannot be shipped, redeemed, exchanged for money, converted into prizes, or sold through PackDex.
Do I need an account?
No. You can explore PackDex and open packs as a guest. Creating an account allows you to maintain a persistent PackDex collection and use account-based collection features across supported devices.
Are PackDex openings the same as physical Pokémon TCG packs?
No. PackDex is an independent simulator designed to recreate the fun of opening and collecting cards digitally. Virtual results should not be interpreted as a guarantee or prediction of what a particular physical Pokémon TCG pack will contain.
How do I track my collection?
Cards you pull can be added to your PackDex collection and organized by set. You can see what you have collected, what you are still missing, and your progress toward completing individual sets.
What is the PackDex wishlist?
The wishlist gives you a separate place to keep track of cards you still want to find. Save missing favorites and use the wishlist as your personal chase list while exploring different sets.
What do the card values mean?
PackDex may display estimated market information for supported cards when pricing data is available. These values are provided for informational and collection-tracking purposes and can change over time. PackDex does not buy or sell the cards displayed in the app.
Can I complete an entire set?
Yes. PackDex lets you track progress through individual sets so you can keep opening virtual packs, revisit your collection, and see which cards you still need.
Is PackDex an official Pokémon product?
No. PackDex is an unofficial, fan-made project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK, The Pokémon Company, or any official Pokémon TCG partner. Pokémon names, imagery, card data, and related trademarks belong to their respective owners.
