Pokémon Trading Revolution Unveiled

by Camila Feb 20,2025

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

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

Here's what we know:

Friend-to-friend trading only: Trading is limited to friends, fostering a more personal trading experience.
Same rarity requirement: Only cards of identical rarity (1-4 stars) can be traded.
Consumable items: Cards must be consumed to initiate a trade; you won't keep your original copy.

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

Initial Thoughts:

While some limitations exist (certain rarity tiers may be untradeable, and consumable currency might be involved), this implementation is a solid first step for a feature many players have requested. The developers' commitment to post-launch monitoring and adjustments is reassuring. We'll likely see further clarification on these points closer to the release date.
