There are two ways you can instantly identify an immersive card in Pokemon TCG Pocket. First is the unique animation triggered when you open them from a pack. Secondly, you’ll notice three golden stars in the bottom left corner of the card.
In case you haven’t noticed, you get Pack Points every time you open a pack or consume pack stamina in the game. You can find your owned Pack Points for each pack right below it on the right side, and tapping on them will take you to the shop.
You can carry a maximum of 2500 Pack Points/pack, so make sure to spend them from time to time.
Are immersive cards stronger than standard ex cards?
No, as it turns out, the immersive cards only offer a visual upgrade over the standard ex cards for the Pokemon mentioned above. Although the art on these variants is as spectacular as it gets, you’ll find the same stats, energy requirements, and attacks.

- Tap on the Search icon to open a menu that allows you to adjust filters and narrow down your search.
