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

Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system, allowing players to exchange cards with friends, mirroring real-world trading experiences. This feature, launching later this month, will initially allow trades only between friends and only for cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars). A key aspect is that traded cards are consumed, meaning you won't retain a copy after trading.

The digital card game's developers plan to closely monitor the system's performance post-launch and adjust it as needed.

A Balanced Approach to Trading

While some limitations exist (certain rarity tiers may be excluded from trading, and consumable currency might be required), this implementation represents a thoughtful approach to introducing trading into the digital TCG environment. The developers' commitment to ongoing assessment and adjustments is reassuring. Further details regarding rarity restrictions and currency requirements will likely be clarified upon the system's release.
