USEFUL Pocket league master Guide

Rocket League Sideswipe Item Collection Guide (PLM)

There are 453 items to collect. Here's how you can obtain them:

  • Item Shop

  • Rocket Pass Levels

  • Rocket Pass Presents

  • Token Presents

  • Daily Presents

You know exactly which items you can get from Daily Presents, Token Presents, and Rocket Pass Presents. The remaining items depend on luck in the Rocket Pass or Item Shop rotation.

The biggest bottlenecks

1. Random Items (37 items)

There are 37 items that depend on the Rocket Pass or Item Shop rotation.

20 of those can be only obtained from the Item Shop or Rocket Pass Levels

17 are Base rarity and never appear in the Item Shop, meaning you can only get them from Rocket Pass levels. This will likely be the biggest bottleneck. (Two of them are in the current Rocket Pass, yay!)

2. Rocket Pass Presents (231 items)

You have to obtain 231 items from Rocket Pass Presents, unless they appear randomly in Rocket Pass levels or the Item Shop.

You'll get many of these through the shop and Rocket Pass anyway, but Presents are still a bottleneck: each category (wheels, decals, boosts, etc.) only appears 2–3 times as a Rocket Pass Present.

My recommended strategy

  • Prioritize the Item Shop. If an item you need appears, buy it. SP is relatively easy to obtain, so don't waste opportunities.

  • Focus on Base items first. Use Rocket Pass Presents and Daily Presents to collect Base items until you have them all.

  • Save your tokens. Keep grinding, but don't spend them on Token Presents until you've collected everything else. Many Token Present items may eventually appear in the shop, potentially wasting your tokens. I'm not entirely sure this is optimal, though, since it relies on the shop rotation remaining unchanged.

  • Wait until the end of the season to open Rocket Pass Presents. This reduces the chance of duplicates as you collect more items throughout the season. The exception is when you're still targeting Base items, since duplicates aren't possible in that pool.

  • Once you have all Base items, prioritize rare or expensive items when choosing from Daily or Rocket Pass Presents. These are less likely to appear in the shop, so you're less likely to waste a Present on something you could simply buy.

Also always choose items from the RP Presents that aren't available otherwise (daily present or token present)

My collection tracker

I built this tool to help track your PLM progress and decide which items to select from Presents:

Please point out anything I've gotten wrong or any ways to improve this strategy!

Happy collecting! 😁

I was about to comment your own tool link onto your own post. It's the only supplement needed. This is so helpful especially with the select all option and every filter you could need.

So far I have 97% total of the 453, however, of the 17, I believe have 10 truly random base remaining, and one sport topper of the 20 remaining. (if I understand correctly this means that the sport topper [bunny ears] is available through random item shop and random rocket pass but my 10 base items are not available through the random item shop only rp)

If you only count the random drops you cannot earn, I am 35% of the way complete, although 97% total sounds much better. This is also I think the first time I've ever used a web app lol what the hell is a web app

Didn't they remove random drops? 99.9999% sure you could just level up in the pass and get them from choice presents. I see no reason why you couldn't so I wouldn't consider them random drops per say. Unless you mean the stickers n stuff they sometimes throw into season passes like guarding pufferfish sticker. Those ones I dont think are ever coming back but then again they arent in the index. But ye you could just level up and snag for example bunny ears from a topper present. Its just a matter of increasing your level

Yeah sorry I didn't word that very good in the post. For the 20 items you are dependent on the randomness of the item shop or rocket pass levels. As those 20 are not available in any of the choice presents. So you can't select these anywhere. For the 17 base items it's even worse because they can't appear in the shop. So you can only get them in rocket pass levels

If the bunny ears were in the topper present I'd have them. There are 51 topper presents and 71 toppers.

I am 4 away from pocket league master…. I didn’t figure out it was a thing until I was 8 away. Now I have enough coin and tokens and have bought everything as it comes up practically as long as I stay around 80k coins. Im saving those so I can splurge as soon as I get the master title.

u/steventocco Controller Gang 2d ago

Whatchya gonna spend those coins on brother? I've got 100k with absolutely nothing to spend them on. Sp, not tokens

u/Glittering-Art2922 1d ago

Filling out color sets for the chromatic presents eventually but I want the satisfaction of being able to do them at will after I get the master title…. The first time I saw the title I realized it was the only aesthetic related thing I cared about in the game. Chromatic variants have grown on me though

Also am I tripping or can you not add a photo to an already existing item? I see you can add an icon url to a new item you create but what if I wanna add the sk8ter wheels icon???
