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

The trading feature will allow you to exchange certain rarities of cards with friends, mimicking the experience of in-person trading. To engage in trading, you'll need trade hourglasses and trade tokens, adding an authentic touch to the digital version of this iconic card collector.

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion is a thrilling addition, featuring fan-favorite Pokémon from the Sinnoh region.

These cards will be available through the Wonder Pick feature, as well as traditional booster packs.

There's no doubt that this update will be a hit, especially with the addition of long-awaited Pokémon to the roster.
