Pokemon TCG Pocket: How to Get and Use Rental Decks

For any Pokemon TCG Pocket players new to the Pokemon trading card game experience, putting together a solid deck of cards might be a little intimidating. Even though Pocket strips down the battling experience to make it more mobile-friendly, having a backup deck that the game puts together for you will definitely come in handy in getting familiar with the battlefield. This is where Rental Decks come into play.

How to Get Rental Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket

When doing Solo battles in Pokemon TCG Pocket, you can use Rental Decks that offer you a pretty solid lineup of cards you may not have in your collection. However, in order to unlock Rental Decks, you must first unlock the highlight card for said deck.

So, for example, to unlock the Venusaur ex Rental Deck for Genetic Apex, you must collect the Venusaur ex card by opening booster packs, crafting, or Wonder Pick. There are also some Rental Decks that don’t highlight a Pokemon but instead highlight the Gym leader Trainer cards, like Brock and Blaine.

How to Check Rental Decks

From the Battle menu (or the main game menu), go ahead and click on Missions in the bottom right corner. From there, hit Deck at the bottom. This section will list all the Deck Missions in Pokemon TCG Pocket. You can see which highlight cards you’re missing and the ones you have unlocked.

How to Use Rental Decks

To actually select a Rental Deck for a battle, you need to go into the Solo menu, choose a battle, and right before you hit the blue Battle! button, touch the chosen deck, and then select Rental Decks at the bottom. Hit OK and then Battle.
