Pokémon TCG Pocket to Launch Trade Feature and Space-Time Smackdown Expansion

Exciting times are ahead for fans of Pokémon TCG Pocket as the game prepares to roll out some much-anticipated features. Trading, a feature that fans have eagerly awaited, is set to make its debut, allowing players to exchange cards with their friends directly within the game. Alongside this, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion is on the horizon, promising to add a new dimension to your collection with cards from the Sinnoh region.

When Is Pokémon TCG Pocket Dropping Space-Time Smackdown and Trading?

Mark your calendars! Starting January 29th, 2025, you'll be able to trade cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Just a day later, on January 30th, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion will be released. This update not only introduces new cards but also enhances your digital binder and display board with fresh covers featuring Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai.

The introduction of trading has been a long-awaited feature. To participate in trading, 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 only be able to trade cards from the Genetic Apex and Mythical Island expansions, but the developers have promised to include more tradeable cards in future updates.

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion dives deep into the Sinnoh region, bringing with it two new booster packs centered around the Legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. These packs will also feature new card illustrations, adding a fresh visual appeal to your collection. Additionally, you'll have the chance to add Lucario, the formidable steel-and-fighting type, and the beloved Sinnoh starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup to your deck.
