Soon, you'll be able to swap cards with your friends directly within the game, adding a whole new level of interaction and strategy to your Pokémon TCG experience.
When Is Pokémon TCG Pocket Dropping Space-Time Smackdown and Trading?
Mark your calendars for January 29th, 2025, as that's when trading will be introduced to Pokémon TCG Pocket. Just one day later, on January 30th, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion will hit the digital shelves. This update also enhances your digital binder and display board with stunning new covers featuring Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai.
The trading feature has been a long-awaited addition, and to facilitate this, you'll need two new items: trade hourglasses and trade tokens.
