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. This feature, launching later this month, will initially allow trades only between friends and will restrict trades to cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars). A key element is that traded cards are consumed; you won't retain a copy after trading.

Trading Mechanics and Future Adjustments

The developers plan to monitor the system's performance post-launch and make adjustments as needed. While some limitations exist – certain rarity tiers may be excluded from trading, and consumable currency might be required – the developers are expected to clarify these details upon release. This measured approach addresses concerns about the complexities of digital card trading. The current implementation strikes a good balance between accessibility and preventing exploitation.

The team's commitment to ongoing assessment and refinement is reassuring. For players eager to enhance their gameplay, exploring the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket is recommended.
