The exceptions are sometimes stupidly rare cards, like a promo known as Tropical Beach (it is even harder to obtain IRL XD). The long answer is "Yes, but you'll need to learn how to trade well, and invest a lot of time trading and grinding for in-game rewards." Still, this means someone like me can get busy for months at a time, then just come back to this game, knuckle down and grind for rewards, and get at least most of the cards we need. If you're asking whether free-to-players can keep up with paying players, the short answer is yes.

aren't responsible if someone scams you and sells you a fake or already used Redemption Code card. You can also look for those selling or trading their Redemption Code cards, but make sure they're trustworthy Nintendo/TPCi/etc. If, a year ago, I had predicted a Stage 2, non-V/VMAX/GX-card to be one of the top cards in 2022, you would. Compared to last year’s list of the best decks in Pokemon TCG Online, this one is far more balanced, interesting, and has a good variety of cards. So yes, if you spend money on real-world products, it will make it easier to acquire the cards you want, one way or another. Welcome to the reign of Inteleon, a card the meta had dismissed in the 2020/21 format. The big thing is that products received via these codes can be traded in the PTCGO. So the contents of your booster pack in the PTCGO may be totally different than those of the real-world pack from which its Redemption Code came. Booster packs are just going to follow the guidelines for that set, but are otherwise random. you receive from using that Redemption Code card in the PTCGO. Things that are set, like the contents of a theme deck, the non-random cards in a gift set or tin, etc. When you buy new physical product (booster packs, theme decks, gift sets, tins, etc.) you get a Redemption Code card for it in the PTCGO. Does buying boosters\decks in real life affect on collecting of competitive cards? If yes - how much does it affect?
