[Feedback] Impossible Premium pass missions

One of the mission of the premium pass is to collect 11 metal type cards.

The problem is that now, there is only 5 metal pokemon in the entire game:
-Mawile
-Meltan
-Melmetal
-Pawniard
-Bisharp

And 3 of them are ONLY in the Charizard booster pack (Mawile, Meltan and Melmetal)
So unless you pick the Charizard pack you have VERY high chances to not be able to complete this mission in time. (Wonder trades aren't enough, and offer only a few chances to finish it)

It's pretty frustrating to pay for a mission you can't achive.
Would you please delete this mission or replace it by another ?

→ I suggest "Collect a 1★ or more pokemon" instead.

That way you can achieve the mission regardless the pack you choose to oppen.
Thanks 🙂

    Yes agree that one quest wasn't well thought.

    Well you were very lucky that is not that easy to get just from packs alone.

    You could also buy them with pack tickets

    Tracked down my account login information with the sole purpose of posting this same complaint. I know the feedback is a month old, but I see the mission is still the same for December's premium quests. It's very annoying as a paying player to feel forced to open the Charizard packs, which are the ones I need the least, to get all of this month's Pikachu cosmetics. Suggestion/improvement options:

    1. Keep the mission, but make the reward hourglasses or something, and assign one of the other missions that reward hourglasses the 2 premium shop tickets.
    2. Offer another mission that also rewards a small amount of premium tickets, so people who missed out can perhaps catch up - get the last thing they need from November and also all of December's. OR if people can't complete the metal type mission, at least they still will have enough tickets to get all of the Pikachu cosmetics.
    3. (Best option): Replace the mission. Some thoughts about what it could be:
      1. Participate/win X amount of solo/pvp battles (i.e. incentivize us to play the game) - better yet, this would be an amazing add to the daily missions that could perhaps reward a small something in addition to the four hourglasses we can get daily, such as 2 extra shop tickets, 1 non-paid gold, a solo event hourglass, etc.
      2. Similar to above, incentivize the community to try out new types of decks to mix up the meta a little bit. E.g. "try out a deck with at least X grass type pokemon"
      3. Collect X colorless type cards - since they're way more common, you could probably make this a little higher than the 11 like all the rest
      4. Something similar to the OP - Collect a 1 star rarity card or higher, or Collect 5 3-diamond rarity cards or higher, etc.
      5. Send thanks X amount of times - incentivize the community to be friendly!!
      6. Heck, even adding something like "Collect 11 Metal AND/OR Dragon type cards" would help a little

    So... the mission is still there, and the new Mythical Island pack hasn't added any new metal cards.

    I guess the late January pack will fix that... 😌
    But if you can consider making the mission easier for January, that would be appreciated.

    Thank you 🫡
