Don’t know what to do with those code cards you get from booster packs? If that’s the case, then you need to learn how to redeem code cards in Pokemon TCG Live!
Playing tabletop Pokemon TCG is still as enjoyable as ever, but we can’t deny that playing the game is much easier on a digital platform.
As the successor of Pokemon Trading Card Game Online, Pokemon TCG Live became an ideal starting point for players to build and practice their decks at the comfort of their homes.

In case you have a bunch of unused Pokemon code cards, you better put them to good use, as they contain a set of digital cards that you can add to your card library in Pokemon TCG Live.

Redeeming Pokemon TCG Live Codes: FAQs
Do Pokemon code cards expire?
Pokemon code cards don’t expire, but they can only be used once. If you try to claim the rewards of a code card twice, you will be prompted with a message saying, “This code card has already been redeemed by a different account.”
Do people buy Pokemon code cards?
Since physical booster packs are quite expensive nowadays, many players resort to buying bundles of Pokemon code cards to complete their card library.
There’s nothing wrong with it, but always purchase code cards from trusted sellers.
Pokemon TCG code card won’t work. What to do?
Check if you entered the correct code. There’s also the chance that you bought an already redeemed code card, but if you think your code card is a genuine one, consider contacting the support team from the Pokemon Company.
Do the codes in the packs give you the same cards as in the physical ones?
Unfortunately, no. If you got a code card from a physical booster pack, the cards you’ll receive on Pokemon TCG Live won’t be the same with the cards that you pulled from that pack.
The Bottom Line
Code card redemption in Pokemon TCG Live is a piece of cake, unless you have a lot of code cards to redeem.

Apart from booster packs, you can also look for online and physical sellers of Pokemon code cards, so you can use more cards in the game without burning your wallet.
