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 key limitations of digital TCGs is the lack of physical interaction. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to address this with its new trading mechanic. However, there are some important rules:
- Rarity Restriction: Only cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) can be traded.
- Friends Only: Trading is limited to friends.
- Consumable Items: Cards must be consumed to initiate a trade; you won't retain your original copy.
The developers plan to monitor the system's performance post-launch and make adjustments as needed. While some rarity tiers may be excluded from trading, and consumable currency might be involved (details to be confirmed upon release), this implementation is a promising step for the game.
Despite potential initial drawbacks, the planned ongoing assessment and adjustments are reassuring. For those looking to improve their gameplay before the trading update, check out our guide on the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket!
