Pokémon TCG Pocket's highly anticipated trading feature arrives January 29th! A brand-new expansion, Space-Time Smackdown, follows on January 30th.

The trading feature, as the name suggests, lets players exchange cards with friends, mirroring the physical card game experience. Trade hourglasses and tokens will be required. This addition promises to enhance the game's authenticity.

Space-Time Smackdown introduces beloved Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Two new digital booster packs feature legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia.

Beyond the legendaries, popular Pokémon like Lucario and the Sinnoh starters—Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup—join the roster. These can be obtained through Wonder Pick and standard booster packs.

This update is expected to be a significant hit, particularly due to the inclusion of long-awaited Pokémon. However, initial feedback on the trading mechanics suggests potential adjustments may be needed.
