Pokémon TCG Pocket previews new trading feature and gives fresh details on implementation

Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system! This new feature, launching later this month, lets players exchange cards with friends, mirroring real-world trading.

A key limitation is that only cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) can be traded, and only between friends. Furthermore, the trade is a one-for-one exchange; you'll consume the card being traded.

The developers plan to monitor the system's performance post-launch and make adjustments as needed.

Trading Mechanics and Considerations

While the system has limitations, it's a solid first step for a digital TCG. The planned monitoring and adjustments are reassuring.

Some unanswered questions remain, particularly regarding which rarity tiers will be excluded from trading and the specifics of consumable currency usage. Clarification is expected upon release.
