Pokemon TCG Pocket might be a card game, but it is not all about collecting cards or playing competitively. You can also customize various aspects of your gameplay, from card sleeves to playmat, and even the coin that you toss (to never get heads for your high-roll decks).

You can also enhance the visual aspect of cards to give them a special effect in Pokemon TCG Pocket. This feature is called Flairs, but not all cards can have the same effect. Moreover, the cost to obtain them also differs based on the specifics of the card itself. In this guide, we will explain what Flairs are in Pokemon TCG Pocket and how you can get them in the game.

What Are Card Flairs in Pokemon TCG Pocket?

Card Flairs in Pokemon TCG Pocket is a cosmetic enhancement that adds special sparkling effects to your cards. You can consider it to be something like attaching a thin sparkling film to an existing card to make it sparkle. Each diamond-rarity card has four levels of Flairs, and each star or above rarity card has five levels. Each of these offers a different kind of visual effect with the sparkle.

That said, the first visual upgrade with the Flairs is the same for all cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket. After this unlocks, the subsequent Flairs can be different for various cards. These are often determined by the Pokemon’s type, the color of its card or element, and some unknown factors.
