Author:Kristen Update:Apr 15,2025

If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming trading feature for Pokémon TCG Pocket, your wait is nearly over. The much-anticipated trading feature is set to launch on January 29th, perfectly timed alongside the release of a brand-new expansion called Space-Time Smackdown on January 30th.

The trading feature allows you to swap specific rarities of cards with friends, mimicking the in-person trading experience. To participate, you'll need to use trade hourglasses and trade tokens, adding an intriguing layer to this digital version of the iconic physical card game.

Following closely on the heels of the trading feature, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion will introduce fan-favorite Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. This expansion includes two new digital booster packs featuring legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. Not a fan of legendaries? No worries! You'll also find beloved Pokémon like Lucario, along with the Sinnoh starter trio of Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. These cards will be accessible through the Wonder Pick feature as well as traditional booster packs.

Smack in the faceThere's no doubt that this update will be a hit, especially with the addition of long-awaited Pokémon to the roster. However, there have been some concerns about how the trading feature will work. Here's hoping that the promise of continuous improvements will ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
