If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming trading feature for Pokémon TCG Pocket, your wait is almost over. The much-anticipated trading feature is set to launch on January 29th, and it's coming with a bang. Just a day later, on January 30th, the game will see the release of a brand-new expansion called Space-Time Smackdown!

Trading in Pokémon TCG Pocket is straightforward and mirrors the in-person experience. You'll be able to trade certain rarities of cards with friends, using trade hourglasses and trade tokens. This feature promises to enhance the authenticity of the digital card collecting experience, making it feel even more like the iconic physical version.

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion is aptly named and will introduce fan-favorite Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Two new digital booster packs will feature legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia, adding a thrilling dimension to your collection. But it's not just about the legendaries; you'll also see beloved Pokémon like Lucario, and the Sinnoh starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. These cards will be available through the Wonder Pick feature as well as traditional booster packs.

This update is poised to be a hit, especially with the addition of long-awaited Pokémon to the roster. However, there have been some murmurs about the mechanics of the trading feature. Here's hoping that the developers' promise of continual tweaks will ensure a smooth experience for all players.
