What’s up, PTCGO Store readers? I hope you’re all having a wonderful time browsing this site, and since you stumbled upon this article, I’m more than happy to help you out on your Pokémon journey! If you want to learn what PTCGO is, how to download it, and how to use it - you’re in the right place! Let’s start by getting you registered for a Pokémon Account!
1. ポケモンアカウントへの登録
Head over to the official Pokémon website https://www.pokemon.com and click on the green “log in” on the right side of the page. If you already have an account, you can skip ahead, or you can join the Pokémon Trainer Club by creating an account. Click on the create an account button to start that process. You’ll want to make sure that all of your information is accurate, that you follow each step, and end it by verifying your email! You’ll now be able to effectively login to the official Pokémon website, and this login will also be the same when you download PTCGO. Let’s download this game!
2. PTCGOをダウンロードする方法

The way you download PTCGO will depend on the device that you’re downloading it for. It is available on PC, Mac, iPad, and some larger screen Android devices. On the official Pokémon website https://www.pokemon.com you can click the “play button featuring two red cards” near the top center part of the site. There will be a button that says “Play the Pokémon TCG Online,” and you can go ahead and click that link to show all of the links to download the game. Make sure you meet the system requirements shown at the bottom of the page and click the right download link for your system. Alternatively, you can go to your respective App Store (Apple or Google) and download the game for your iPad / Android device. Follow all of the instructions to download it on the installer (if applicable) and load up the app for the first time.
3. PTCG Onlineの基本
初めてPTCGOにログインすると、ゲームの進行の仕方を示す攻略ガイドを見るよう促されます。定期的に変更はありますが、コンピューターAIとあらかじめ構築されたデッキでどのようにゲームが進行するのかを学べるような内容になっています。アプリ内をご自由に探索して、できるだけ簡単に理解できるように作られた情報のポップアップをすべてご覧ください。このアプリケーションはいくつかのカテゴリーに分かれています。アプリの機能をより理解していただくために説明していきます。
4. 「Play」 ボタン

This is the first button at the top of the app’s home screen and features a variety of ways to play Pokémon. Let me explain those!
4.1 Trainer Challenge
You can select the League and your opponent and challenge them with any of the PTCGO default preconstructed decks or Theme decks. You can play these opponents multiple times to earn free cards and packs to help build your collection.
4.2 Versus
You can choose any deck that you have on Pokemon TCG Online and play in any format that you like. You can select online decks that you’ve created and play against real opponents to earn free products such as sought-after Full Art cards, packs, and other in-game items.
4.3 Events
These are in-game tournaments that use Event Tickets to enter. You can earn Event Tickets by playing on Versus and earning them for completing games. These events offer in-game prize support for all participants and offer PTCGO pack prizes for top finishers.
4.4 Tutorial
If you need a refresher on how to play the Pokémon TCG or if it's your first time, this is the place to go! Try your luck against the computer AI with a preconstructed deck and learn how to play Pokémon.
5. 「Three Cards」ボタン

This is the second button at the top of the app’s home screen and features a variety of ways for you to interact with your collection. Let me explain those.
5.1 Collection
自分のコレクションであるか、そうでないかに関わらず、すべてのわくわくするカードのPTCGOコードを分類して、あらゆるカードを閲覧することができます。ギャラリーとして、存在するカードを検索する方法として、デッキに最適なカードを探す方法として、また欲しいカードを獲得するためのチェックリストとして使用してください。あらゆるカードを取り扱う方法はいろいろありますが、一番良い方法は、実際にそれらを使ってプレイしてみることです。
5.2 Online Deck Manager
You can see all of the decks you’ve built, the theme decks you’ve acquired, and build new decks for a variety of formats. If you’re anything more than a collector, this is likely going to be the place where you spend the most time in-app building those masterful creations!
5.3 Trade
We don’t always pull the cards we want out of Pokemon TCGO packs, and this is why the app has a place to trade for cards that you want. You can see public offers to see what others are offering, you can create a trade for others to view publicly, you can trade directly with friends in the game, and you can see the trades that you’ve completed. I recommend checking out ptcgozone.com/ptcgoprices/ to determine the value of cards before trading.
6. The Face Button

This is the third button at the top of the app’s home screen and features ways to explore the customisation of your avatar and other customisable.
6.1 Avatar
You can create your Pokemon TCG Online avatar to be what you want it to be. Maybe you always wear a goofy hat and a unique hairstyle - you can do that! There is some in-game apparel that you can buy from the in-game shop or trade for them on public trades.
6.2 Challenges
PTCGO is always offering fun ways to acquire some free products in the game! You can see what challenges are available for you to complete by playing games on the Versus ladder and Events. We talked about earlier how to play.
6.3 Statistics
If you’ve ever wanted to know how many cards you’ve drawn or how many days of your left you’ve spent playing this game, this is the right area for you. This is more or less a personal high scoreboard for you based on a few metrics.
7. 「Shopping Cart 」ボタン
This is the fourth button at the top of the app's home screen and features the shop - the place to spend your in-game coins.
7.1 Shop
This is the area for you to use your PokeCoins to purchase Pokemon TCG theme decks, booster packs, and other gameplay items. All of these can be purchased using in-game currency, but they can’t be purchased using your real money (PTCGO is free to use in-game) but if you want to build up your online deck you can always get yours Pokemon TCG codes at PTCGO Store. You can earn PokeCoins by playing on the Versus ladder, playing in Events, and completing Challenges.
8. 「Present」 ボタン
This is the fifth button at the top of the app’s home screen that features the PTCGO code redeemer. This button is usually only available on Mac and PC. If you’re on an iPad or Android device, this button might not exist.
8.1 PTCGOコードの利用
If you have any PTCGO codes from opening physical packs or you’ve purchased some from the website, you can put them in the text box. You can scan them with the QR reader (your webcam must have a minimum resolution of 1.5MP), manually type them in, or copy / paste them into the text box (all of this options are available at PTCGO Store ). If you’re on an iPad or Android device, you’ll likely need to login to the official Pokémon website https://www.pokemon.com, click the “play button featuring two red cards” near the top center part of the site, and click on the “Redeem Pokémon TCG Online Codes on Pokemon.com”.
9. 「Pokémon Trading Card Game Online」 ボタン
This is the sixth button at the top of the app’s home screen that can take you back to the app's homepage.
9.1 PokeCoins
These are the in-game currency. You can earn them by competing on the Versus ladder and Events.
9.2 Event Tickets
These are used to play in Events. You can earn them by competing on the Versus ladder and Events.
10. The Gear Button
This is the seventh button at the far top right of the app’s home screen that features different settings in the app.
10.1 Settings
PTCGOでゲームをするにあたって、簡単にポケモンをカテゴリー分けしたり、自分のパフォーマンスの設定の変更、ボリュームのコントロール、カードアセットのダウンロードをしたりすることがが可能です。
10.2 Help
This will prompt “Support”, “Pokémon Rules”, and “Pokémon Tutorials”. If you’ve been wondering how the rules of the game work or need any other assistance, you’ll likely find that here.
10.3 Pokémon Terms of Use

11. 「Three People」 ボタン

This is the eighth button at the far top right of the app’s home screen that allows you to view your friend's list, play games with your friends, and message other players in the game.
11.1 Two People
ゲイム内の友達を追加したり、ゲーム内の友達と対戦したり、友達とのダイレクトメッセージが来たことを知らせたりします。
11.2 Dot Dot Dot
友達と、PTCGの話題に関して直接メッセージを交換したり、他のユーザーと話をすることができます。
11.3 Mail
PTCGOのコードの取引が終了したりアカウントに入力されたら、ここに通知が来ます。
11.4 コレクションの作成
The best way to build a collection is to determine what you’re trying to accomplish. If you only want to play this game at an ultra-casual level, maybe it's best for you only to buy theme Pokemon online decks. They contain plenty of unique cards, you can battle other users, and it’s a great way to be engaged in our Pokémon community. Perhaps that isn’t your style, and you want to open up PTCGO packs endlessly to collect complete sets - you’ll probably need to pick up some Pokemon TCG Online codes. If you’re a competitive player and looking to build the best deck, you’ll likely have a list of Pokemon code cards that you’ll want to pick up. This is where you might buy / trade for a combination of Pokémon TCG Promo Cards (also available in code form), League Battle Decks, PTCGO Packs, and more. Whichever way you want to build up your collection, you should research what you want and find out if that makes sense. I recommend reading the blogs on our website, watching YouTube content, talking to other community members on Social Media, and making some decisions yourself.
11.5 デッキの構築

There are various ways to build a deck, and it really depends on how you want to play this game. In-game, you wanna click on the three cards button at the top of the app, select deck manager, and click on “Create a New Deck”. Deck Wizard will automatically build you a deck based on two of your favorite cards from your collection, Standard / Expanded / Legacy / Unlimited all focus on you personally building a deck from scratch for a particular format, and Import allows you to copy and paste a text version of a decklist into the game. If you’re starting, Deck Wizard is a great place to automatically build a unique deck that only features cards you own. Importing a deck that you find from a YouTube video or a blog written on this website makes it easy for you to find out what cards you want to pick up, obtain them, and start playing with that exact Pokemon deck. Choosing a format and personally building a deck requires the most skill, but it’s up to you to decide how comfortable you are with the whole process. Remember to follow all deck-building rules (max of four of each card name, some cards have special rules written on them, you can play any amount of basic Energy, and 60 cards per deck) and experiment with your new deck.
