Pokémon TCG Pocket finally tackles trading in new update, but it\'s not coming until autumn

Pokémon TCG Pocket is making significant changes to its trading system, addressing player concerns about accessibility. The update completely removes Trade Tokens, replacing them with Shinedust. Shinedust is earned by opening booster packs and receiving duplicate cards already registered in your Card Dex. Players can convert existing Trade Tokens to Shinedust. Further adjustments are planned, including changes to how Shinedust is used for flair and a future update allowing players to share cards they wish to trade via an in-game function.

The initial trading system faced criticism due to the scarcity of Trade Tokens and restrictive trading parameters. This new system aims to streamline the process and make trading more accessible. While these improvements are welcomed, the implementation timeline extends into autumn, a delay that some players may find frustrating.

Trading spaces The inherent challenges of digital trading, requiring stricter controls than physical trading to prevent exploitation, contributed to the initial difficulties. The developers acknowledge these challenges and are working towards a more user-friendly experience.
