Pokémon TCG Pocket previews new trading feature and gives fresh details on implementation

by Sadie Feb 19,2025

Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system! This new feature, launching later this month, lets players exchange cards with friends, mimicking real-world trading.

One of the biggest draws of physical TCGs is the tangible collecting and trading experience. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this with its new system.

Here's how the trading system will work:

  • Friend-to-friend trading only: Trades are limited to friends.
  • Same rarity: Cards must share the same rarity (1-4 stars).
  • Consumable items: Traded cards are consumed; you won't keep your original copy.

The developers plan to monitor the system's performance after launch and make adjustments as needed.

Initial Thoughts:

While some limitations exist (certain rarity tiers may be untradeable, and consumable currency might be required), this implementation is a solid first step. The developers' commitment to post-launch adjustments is reassuring. We anticipate further clarification on these points closer to the release date.
