To all of you playing Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket,

Greetings from the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Team.

Thank you for having fun with us - opening packs, collecting cards, and enjoying the game each day. We're continuously working to make the game even more fun for everyone and are excited to share some new updates with you.

Today, we wanted to provide more details on the new trade feature coming your way this month. Here are a few highlights you can look forward to!

  • Trades can be done between friends.
  • Trades can be done with cards of the same rarity.
  • At the time of the trade feature's launch, certain cards from the Genetic Apex and Mythical Island booster packs will be able to be traded. We are planning to continue to expand the selection of booster packs that you can trade from.
  • Cards with a rarity of 1-4♢ and ︎1☆ can be traded.
  • Items must be consumed in order to trade.

We’ll continue to monitor player feedback and assess future updates to the trade feature while keeping in mind how to balance both the ease and enjoyability of collecting.

Also, our next booster packs are planned to be added this month! We’ll have more details to share soon on the new Pokémon encounters fans can look forward to.

Thank you again for being a part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket community. We hope you continue to enjoy the game.

And don’t forget to open your packs each day!

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Team
