Pokémon TCG Pocket to introduce trading at the end of this month alongside brand-new expansion

If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming trading feature for Pokémon TCG Pocket, your wait is almost over. The trading feature is set to launch on January 29th, closely followed by the brand-new Space-Time Smackdown expansion on January 30th.

Trading in Pokémon TCG Pocket will let you exchange certain rarities of cards with friends, mimicking the experience of physical trading. To facilitate these trades, you'll need trade hourglasses and trade tokens, adding an authentic touch to this digital card game.

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion introduces fan-favorite Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. This exciting addition will include two new digital booster packs featuring the iconic legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. If legendary Pokémon aren't your top priority, you'll also find beloved Sinnoh starters like Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup, along with Lucario. These cards can be obtained through the Wonder Pick feature as well as traditional booster packs.

This update is poised to be a hit, especially with the addition of long-awaited Sinnoh Pokémon. However, there has been some buzz about how the trading feature will function. Hopefully, the developers' commitment to continuous improvements will ensure a smooth experience.
