Pokemon TCG Pocket Details Trading Feature Launching This Month
The new trading system includes strict rarity restrictions, item costs, and limited card availability, prompting mixed reactions from players.
Overview
- Players will only be able to trade cards with friends, and the cards must be of the same rarity to be eligible for exchange.
- At launch, trading will be restricted to cards from the Genetic Apex and Mythical Island booster packs, with rarities between 1-4 diamonds and 1 star.
- Trading will require the consumption of unspecified in-game items, raising concerns about the introduction of another currency.
- Highly sought-after cards, such as 2-star and 3-star rarities, as well as alternate art and promotional cards, are excluded from trading.
- Developers have invited player feedback to refine the system post-launch and plan to expand the pool of tradeable cards over time.
