PTCGP Private Server: a local Pokémon TCG Pocket service

PTCGP Private Server replaces selected Pokémon TCG Pocket 1.8.1 online services with local HTTPS and gRPC endpoints for profiles, collections and pack openings. A Windows controller routes a rooted Android client's traffic to per-device servers, checks the client build and imports game data from the user's installation.
