Pokémon TCG Pocket's Trading Feature Launches, Alongside Space-Time Smackdown Expansion
Pokémon TCG Pocket players have a double reason to celebrate as January ends. The much-anticipated trading feature has finally arrived, alongside the exciting new Space-Time Smackdown expansion!
The trading system allows players to exchange cards with friends, mirroring the real-life experience. While some limitations exist—only certain rarities (1-4 and 1-star) are tradeable, and resources like trade hourglasses and tokens are required—it's a significant addition to the game.
Space-Time Smackdown introduces legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia, Sinnoh starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup, and much more!

Initial player reception to the trading feature has been mixed, with some expressing disappointment. While the feature itself is well-implemented, the numerous restrictions are a point of contention. Many believe a less restrictive, potentially free, trading system would have been preferable.
However, developers are reportedly monitoring player feedback, suggesting potential future improvements and adjustments to the trading mechanics.
