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

Get ready to trade! The new trading feature allows you to exchange cards with friends, mirroring the physical card game experience. Trade hourglasses and tokens will facilitate these exchanges, adding a layer of strategic depth.

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

This update promises to be a significant hit, particularly with the addition of long-awaited Pokémon. While some initial concerns about the trading mechanics exist, developers have pledged ongoing adjustments.
