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

Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system! This new feature, launching later this month, lets you exchange cards with friends, bringing a key element of the physical card game experience to the digital realm.

The trading system will initially have some limitations designed to ensure fair play. Trades will be restricted to cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) and only between friends. Furthermore, the cards used in trades will be consumed, preventing players from duplicating their collections through trading alone.

A Balanced Approach to Trading

While the initial limitations might present some minor drawbacks, this approach to implementing trading is a smart one. The developers plan to monitor the system's performance closely and make adjustments as needed, which is reassuring.

Some rarity tiers may be excluded from trading initially, and the use of consumable currency for trades remains a possibility, though details are expected upon release.
