Pokémon TCG Borrows Feature and Sets Release Date

Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system! This new feature, launching later this month, lets you exchange cards with friends, mirroring the real-world trading experience.

One of the biggest draws of physical TCGs is the social aspect of trading. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this with its new system. However, to ensure fair play and prevent exploitation, certain limitations are in place.

Trading is currently restricted to cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) and only between friends. Crucially, traded cards are consumed – you won't retain a copy after the trade.

The developers plan to monitor the system's performance closely and make adjustments as needed after its release.

Trading Mechanics and Future Considerations

While some limitations exist, this trading implementation is a solid first step. The developers' commitment to monitoring and adjusting the system based on player feedback is reassuring.

Some unanswered questions remain, particularly regarding which rarity tiers will be excluded from trading and the specifics of consumable currency usage. These details will likely be clarified upon the system's release.
