Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket players will get to trade “certain cards” come 2025, the Pokémon TCG Pocket operations team announced Wednesday. After launching in late October, Pokémon TCG Pocket has been a wild hit: The game has reportedly made more than $12 million across more than 10 million downloads.

The Pokemon TCG Pocket devs have confirmed when the hotly anticipated trading feature will arrive. However, there’s a huge catch.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has got off to a flying start on mobile devices, but one feature trainers have been unable to access at launch is trading. It was previously mentioned trading would not be available at launch and now in an update The Pokémon Company has confirmed it will be released early next year in January 2025.

The developers behind Pokémon TCG Pocket have teased some of the updates players can expect to receive in the coming months, including new booster packs and a trading feature.

Opening up a booster pack in the newly released mobile hit game Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket involves a few steps, including having to choose which pack to open. Does the pack you pick matter and influence what cards you get?

Pokémon TCG Pocket will add the ability to trade cards with other players at the start of 2025, the smash hit smartphone game's development team has confirmed. Before then, the game will also be refreshed with the launch of new booster packs due "by the end of the year".

Pokémon TCG Pocket is about to get even more content, with The Pokémon Company confirming plans for new packs, updates, and the slow rollout of trading.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket developer Creatures Inc. won't say if the content of booster packs actually changes depending on which one players choose on the pack carousel, but it almost certainly does not.
