by Sebastian Apr 04,2025

If you've been eagerly anticipating the release of the much-awaited trading feature for Pokémon TCG Pocket, your wait is nearly over. Mark your calendars for January 29th, when this exciting feature will become available. And that's not all—hot on its heels, a brand-new expansion titled "Space-Time Smackdown" will launch the very next day on January 30th!

Trading in Pokémon TCG Pocket is just as you'd expect from the physical card game: you'll be able to exchange certain card rarities with friends. To facilitate these trades, you'll need trade hourglasses and trade tokens, adding a strategic element to this authentic digital version of the iconic card collector.

The aptly named "Space-Time Smackdown" expansion will introduce a slew of fan-favorite cards from the Sinnoh region. This expansion includes two new digital booster packs featuring legendary Pokémon like Dialga and Palkia. But if legendary Pokémon aren't your cup of tea, fear not; other beloved Sinnoh Pokémon such as Lucario, Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup will also make their debut. These cards will be accessible through both the Wonder Pick feature and traditional booster packs.

Smack in the faceThis update is poised to be a hit, not only for the inclusion of long-awaited Pokémon but also for the introduction of the trading feature. While there have been some murmurs about how trading will work, the promise of ongoing adjustments gives hope that everything will run smoothly.
