Pokémon TCG Pocket to introduce trading at the end of this month alongside brand-new expansion

Pokémon TCG Pocket's highly anticipated trading feature arrives January 29th! A brand-new expansion, Space-Time Smackdown, follows on January 30th.

The trading feature allows players to exchange cards with friends, adding a new layer of social interaction and mirroring the experience of physical card trading. Trade hourglasses and tokens will be required.

Space-Time Smackdown introduces beloved Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Two new digital booster packs feature the legendary Dialga and Palkia.

A Powerful AdditionBeyond the legendaries, popular Pokémon like Lucario and the Sinnoh starter trio (Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup) join the roster. These will be obtainable through Wonder Pick and standard booster packs.

This update is expected to be a significant success, especially given the inclusion of long-awaited Pokémon. However, initial feedback regarding the trading mechanics suggests potential refinements may be needed.
