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, as the name suggests, lets you exchange cards with friends, mirroring the in-person experience. Trade hourglasses and tokens will be required. This addition promises a more authentic digital recreation of the physical card game.

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

Beyond the legendary Pokémon, the expansion includes popular choices like Lucario and the Sinnoh starter trio: Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. These cards 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 initial concerns about the trading mechanics exist, promised ongoing adjustments should ensure a smooth experience.
