Summary
APokemon TCG Pocketleak has revealed two new trading currencies. The feature is finally on its way toPokemon TCG Pocket, allowing players to trade cards with each other to complete their collections with the missing copies.
The announcement ofhow thePokemon TCG Pockettrades will workfinally came earlier this month, confirming previous leaks saying this feature will be restricted to cards of specific rarities. However, those leaks raised the possibility that the trades will have another related feature to allow players to exchange their cards. While it has long been speculated that shinedust would finally have some use beyond unlocking flairs and could be used in trades, the community now has information that points in a different direction.
Twitter user PokeGirlLauren has revealedtwo newPokemon TCG Pocketcurrencies related to trading. One of them is a green hourglass, which, according to her, will be spent one unit every time the player makes a trade, working similarly toPokemon TCG Pocket’s Wonder Pick. She adds that to make more trades, players will have to wait, with an hourglass being replenished every 12 hours. The other item, she says, is called “feature artwork tokens,” and the card rarity will determine how many players will need to make trades. However, it is not known how they will work, or how they can be acquired.
New Trade Details Split the Pokemon TCG Pocket Community
As with the limitations imposed by the official announcement of the details on trading, the leak of the current currencies has generated divided reactions. One concern in the community is thatPokemon TCG Pocket’s monetizationwill heavily limit players' access to these tokens. Other comments expressed surprise that Shinedust isn’t the item used in trades, similar to how Stardust works inPokemon GO. One particular Redditor speculates that, for them, the developers' idea is to make trading free while maintaining the incentive for players to keep opening packs, keeping both features engaging.
For some time, players only knew that trades would arrive at the end of January, and now it has been confirmed by the devs that the feature will debut next Tuesday, January 28. The update comes in anticipation of the long-awaitedsecondPokemon TCG Pocketsetthat was recently revealed and will arrive on January 29. While the first set focuses on Pokemon from Kanto, the new set, “Space-Time Smackdown,” will feature the monsters from Sinnoh, marking the debut of cards such as ex variants of the legendaries Palkia and Dialga.
