One of the few drawbacks of digital trading card games is the absence of the physical experience. The joy of collecting cards, organizing them in a binder, and engaging in trades at your local store can be missed. However, Pokémon TCG Pocket is set to bridge this gap with an exciting new trading system that will allow you to swap and share cards as if you were trading in person.
We now have more details on how this trading system will function. Initially, you'll be able to trade cards only with friends, and the cards must be of the same rarity level, ranging from 1 to 4 stars. Additionally, to complete a trade, you'll need to consume the items involved, meaning you won't be able to retain your own copy of the card.
This innovative trading feature is scheduled to launch later this month. The team behind Pokémon TCG Pocket is committed to monitoring its performance and making necessary adjustments to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all players.

While there may be some practical challenges with this system, it's clear that the introduction of trading is a highly anticipated feature, and this implementation is among the best we could hope for. The commitment from the development team to assess and refine the system post-launch is particularly reassuring.
In our discussions about the feature, we've noted that certain rarity tiers will not be available for trading. Additionally, the use of consumable currencies for trading is something that will likely be clarified upon release.
