Pokémon TCG Pocket Adds Trading Feature and New Expansion This Month

If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming trading feature for Pokémon TCG Pocket, you won't have to wait much longer. The hotly anticipated trading feature is set to launch on January 29th, bringing a new level of excitement to the game. Just one day later, on January 30th, a brand-new expansion called Space-Time Smackdown will be released, enhancing your gaming experience even further.

Trading in Pokémon TCG Pocket allows you to exchange certain rarities of cards with friends, much like you would in person. To facilitate these trades, you'll need to use trade hourglasses and trade tokens, adding a strategic element to the game. This feature promises to make Pokémon TCG Pocket an even more authentic digital version of the iconic physical card collector.

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion is aptly named and includes fan-favorite cards from the Sinnoh region. This expansion introduces two new digital booster packs featuring the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. If legendary Pokémon aren't your focus, you'll still find plenty to enjoy with the inclusion of other beloved Sinnoh region Pokémon like Lucario, as well as the starter trio of Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. These cards will be available through the Wonder Pick feature and traditional booster packs.

This update is poised to be a hit, not only for the addition of long-awaited Pokémon but also for the introduction of trading. While there have been some concerns about how trading will function, the promise of continual tweaks to the feature suggests that any issues will be addressed promptly to ensure a smooth experience.
