The Pokemon Company International announced a free gift of Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Trade Tokens for all players. This comes after the company announced there would be changes made to the trading feature following negative feedback from those who attempted to use it.
Currently, in Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket a player needs to acquire Trade Tokens if they want to start trading valid cards with people set as friends. However, you need between 25 and 1,500 of these items to trade depending on the rarity of the card, and both people participating in the swap need that amount. The primary means of getting them is to exchange duplicates of cards you collected and selecting Trade Tokens as the item you want from them.
On January 31, 2025, The Pokemon Company International first addressed feedback about the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Trade Tokens and system. It admitted that the choices meant people weren’t able to “casually enjoy the feature.” This gift of 1,000 Trade Tokens is designed to make it easier for people to swap cards in the meantime. That original announcement also noted that eventually events will give away the item to make things easier for folks.
In the meantime, a number of events are running. One is a Space-Time Smackdown Emblem Event tied to collecting new cards from the latest expansion pack. That runs until February 24, 2025. There is also a Cresselia ex Drop Event with promo cards that can be earned through Solo Battles.
Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket is available for mobile devices worldwide.
