Released back in November, Pokémon TCG Pocket is a free-to-play take on the popular card game, with an emphasis on opening packs and unlocking new and aesthetically-pleasing cards. The game had a great launch, surpassing 60 million downloads in just over a month. In the short time since then, Pokémon TCG Pocket has hit yet another major milestone.

Making the announcement, the team behind Pokémon TCG Pocket revealed that since its launch in November, more than 40 Billion total cards have been acquired, writing:

“To celebrate achieving 40,000,000,000 (40 billion) cards total acquired by Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket players around the world, players have been gifted the Promo Pokédex (PROMO) card! At last, players can fill the missing Promo-A card number 8 from their collection. Claim the card from the ‘Gifts’ section from the menu tab.”

As mentioned, Pokémon TCG Pocket hit 60 million downloads in a little over a month, and while we don’t have any more recent figures to go off of, 40 Billion total cards acquired seems to indicate that said downloads have translated to returning players – each of which average around 666 cards.
