Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system! This new feature, launching later this month, will let players exchange cards with friends, bringing a key element of the physical card game experience to the digital realm.
The trading system will initially have some limitations. Trades will be restricted to cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) and only between friends. Importantly, cards traded will be consumed—meaning you won't retain a copy after trading.
A Balanced Approach to Digital Trading
While there are potential limitations, this implementation of trading is a thoughtful approach. The developers plan to monitor the system's performance and make adjustments as needed, which is reassuring.
Some aspects remain unclear, such as which rarity tiers will be excluded from trading and the exact mechanics of consumable currency usage. These details will likely be clarified upon the system's release.
