Pokémon TCG Pocket to introduce trading at the end of this month alongside brand-new expansion

Pokémon TCG Pocket's highly anticipated trading feature arrives January 29th! A new expansion, Space-Time Smackdown, follows on January 30th.

Get ready to trade! The new trading feature lets you exchange cards with friends, mirroring the real-world experience. Trade hourglasses and tokens will be required. This exciting addition promises a more authentic digital TCG experience.

Space-Time Smackdown introduces fan-favorite Sinnoh region Pokémon. Two new digital booster packs feature the legendary Dialga and Palkia.
