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

Pokémon TCG Pocket is set to roll out some thrilling updates that fans have been eagerly awaiting. The much-anticipated trading feature is finally making its way into 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 features.

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

Mark your calendars! Starting January 29th, 2025, you'll be able to engage in trading within 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, 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 can only 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 into the Sinnoh region, bringing with it 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 starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup to your collection.
