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 fan-favorite Pokémon from the Sinnoh region.

The trading feature allows players to exchange cards with friends, mirroring the in-person experience. Trade hourglasses and tokens will be required.

Space-Time Smackdown adds iconic Sinnoh Pokémon, including legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia in two new digital booster packs. Other popular additions include Lucario and the Sinnoh starter trio: Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. These will be available via Wonder Pick and traditional booster packs.

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