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, mimicking the real-life trading experience.

One of the biggest draws of physical TCGs is the social aspect of trading. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this with its new system. However, to ensure fairness and prevent exploitation, there are some limitations.

Trading is currently restricted to cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) and only between friends. A key element is that cards are consumed upon trading; you won't retain a copy after the exchange.

The developers plan to monitor the system's performance closely and make adjustments as needed. This iterative approach suggests a commitment to refining the trading experience based on player feedback.

While some rarity tiers may be excluded from trading initially, and consumable currency might be involved, the overall implementation seems well-considered. The team's commitment to post-launch adjustments is reassuring. For players eager to improve their gameplay, exploring optimal deck strategies remains a crucial aspect of the game.
