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, will let players exchange cards with friends, mimicking the real-life trading experience.

One of the biggest draws of physical TCGs is the social interaction and trading aspect. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this with its new system.

Here's what we know:

• Friend-to-friend trading: Trading is limited to friends only.
• Rarity restriction: Only cards with a rarity of 1 to 4 (1-star) are eligible for trading.
• Consumable items: Cards must be consumed to initiate a trade; you won't keep your original copy.

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

Initial Thoughts:

While some limitations exist (certain rarity tiers may be excluded, and consumable currency might be required), this implementation is a promising start for a feature many players have eagerly awaited. The developers' commitment to monitoring and improving the system is reassuring. Further details regarding rarity restrictions and potential consumable currency requirements are expected at launch.
