Pokémon TCG Pocket is set to roll out some thrilling updates that fans have been eagerly awaiting. One of the most anticipated features, trading, is finally making its way to the game, allowing you to swap cards with your friends. Alongside this, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion is on the horizon, promising to enrich your collection with new cards and exciting additions.
Mark your calendars for January 29th, 2025, as trading becomes available in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Just a day later, on January 30th, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion will be released. This update will also introduce fresh covers for your digital binder and display board, featuring iconic Pokémon like Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai.
The introduction of trading has been a long-awaited feature, and to make it happen, you'll need two new items: trade hourglasses and trade tokens. Keep in mind that the cards eligible for trading are limited to rarity levels 1-4 and ★1. Initially, you'll be able to trade cards from the Genetic Apex and Mythical Island expansions, with the developers promising to include more tradeable cards in future updates.
The Space-Time Smackdown expansion is dedicated to the Sinnoh region, bringing two new booster packs centered around the Legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia, along with stunning new card illustrations. You'll also have the chance to add Lucario, the formidable steel-and-fighting type, and the beloved Sinnoh starter Pokémon—Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup—to your collection. For a deeper dive into what's coming, check out the video below.
