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, followed by the Space-Time Smackdown expansion on January 30th. This expansion introduces beloved Sinnoh region Pokémon.

The trading feature, as the name suggests, lets you exchange cards with friends, mirroring the real-world experience. Trade hourglasses and tokens will facilitate these exchanges, adding a layer of strategic depth to the game.

Space-Time Smackdown brings fan-favorite Pokémon from the Sinnoh region to Pokémon TCG Pocket. Two new digital booster packs feature the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia.

Beyond the legendary Pokémon, the expansion includes popular choices like Lucario and the Sinnoh starter trio: Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. These will be available through Wonder Pick and traditional booster packs.

This update is sure to be a hit, especially with the addition of long-awaited Pokémon. While some initial concerns about the trading mechanics exist, the developers have promised ongoing adjustments.
