Pokémon TCG Pocket to Launch Trading and New Expansion This Month

Author : Caleb Mar 31,2025

If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming trading feature for Pokémon TCG Pocket, your wait is almost over. The trading feature is set to launch on January 29th, followed by a brand-new expansion called Space-Time Smackdown on January 30th.

Trading in Pokémon TCG Pocket will allow you to exchange certain rarities of cards with friends, similar to trading in the physical world. To trade, you'll need to use trade hourglasses and trade tokens, adding an authentic touch to the digital experience.

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion introduces fan-favorite Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. This expansion includes two new digital booster packs featuring legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. If legendaries aren't your focus, you'll still enjoy the addition of other beloved Pokémon like Lucario, and the Sinnoh starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. These cards will be available through the Wonder Pick feature as well as traditional booster packs.

This update is poised to be a hit, especially with the introduction of long-awaited Pokémon. However, there have been some concerns about how the trading system will work. Here's hoping that promised continual updates will ensure a smooth experience.
