Part of the joy of collecting cards inPokémon Trading Card Game Pocketis displaying them. The app version of the popular card game gives players plenty of ways to browse, organize, and display the cards they’ve collected. Among these is the creation of Flair, special cosmetics that enhance the looks of the cards in ways that wouldn’t be possible in the physical constraints of the real world.

It’s also a way to use up extra cards when players acquire duplicates of the same Pokémon. Flair isn’t free, though, and that’s where Shinedust comes in.
