You’ve read our article on the Basics and decided which Pookyball is right for you. Now you want to know how to make better use of your Energy and Pressure.
That’s a wise decision. With knowledge comes reward.
Let’s get into it.
The more Energy you have, the more games you can predict. The more games you can predict, the more leaderboards you can compete in, and the more rewards you can win. So far, so easy.
But remember:
Energy is vital to your Pooky experience. How much Energy you have, how you manage it and how you get more of it depends on a Pookyball’s Prestige and Rarity.
Let’s explore Prestige first.
Like Energy, Prestige is an Account wide resource. Prestige has a direct impact on how much Energy you can have. The higher your Prestige, the higher your Energy.
The formula : Energy = 100 + ( Prestige * 3.4 )
OK! Prestige looks important. How do you get more of it?
Prestige is based on the ‘features’ and ‘quality’ of your Pookyballs.
If you’re into complex game-design formulas, the below table will give you a taste. If you want more, head over to the Prestige section in our whitepaper.
Example of how prestige impacts energy
You have an Epic Pookyball at level 0 with a Prestige of 8. You also have a Rare level 0 Pookyball with a Prestige of 4. How is your Energy calculated?
100 [base Energy] + 27.2 [from your Epic Pookyball] + 13.6 [from your Rare Pookyball] = 140.2 Energy.
The above is a simplified example of how Prestige and Energy are related. Read the whitepaper for a more in-depth explanation.
As you can see in the image above, each Rarity level has a Prestige Multiplier, and an Energy Boost.
With 100 Energy you’ll be able to predict 1 Matchday, or 10 games per week. But let’s say you’re a big fan of the English Premier League and the French Ligue 1. You want to predict all the matches. To do that, you need 200 Energy.
So, what would it take to get 200 Energy, or more? Check out the table below, or make your own calculations using the data from our whitepaper here.

All Pookyballs have a Pressure level. Every time you make a prediction, your Pookyball loses Pressure. When your Pressure drops below 76%, you earn less Prediction Points. Players can use POK or MATIC at any time to ‘re-inflate’ the Pookyball and restore the reward rate.
It won’t be easy, but eventually you’ll have the potential to generate more Energy than you can use. Batteries, part of an upcoming Crafting Feature, will allow you to store this excess Energy.
Additional Crafting Features will also allow you to manufacture items such as Stickers, Consumables and Collectibles.
Strategy Tip: Some Crafting Features will cost more than 100 Energy, so large Energy totals will be needed.
Of all your Pookyball Features and Attributes, Energy is perhaps the most important to your prediction success. Simply put, the more Energy you have, the more predictions you can make and the more Points you can win.
Your Energy depends on the Prestige and Rarity of your Pookyballs. The rarer your Pookyball, the more Prestige, the more Energy. It really comes down to your strategy for Pooky.

And keep your Energy levels up. You’re going to need it.
Known as Genesis, the first Pookyballs were available since February 28th, when we launched the full game on March 22nd, 2023.
