While trading is still a few months out, though, the Pokémon TCG Pocket team did say Wednesday that it plans to add new booster packs “by the end of the year,” but did not specify a date. Other “new features” are in development, too, which the company plans to announce more in the future.

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?

We’re just a couple weeks into Pokémon TCG Pocket’s life out in the wild and the devs behind the hit mobile card game adaptation have already teased some big upcoming plans. Those include new booster packs before the end of the year,

It’s clear that TCG Pocket isn’t intended to be a one-to-one re-creation of the tabletop version. In the analog version of the game, the choice would matter, since separately packaged booster packs contain different combinations of cards. But with TCG Pocket, the developers won’t say if your choice impacts the cards you get.

The Pokemon Company has announced that Pokemon TCG Pocket will be getting new features like trading and extra booster packs in future updates.

According to Eurogamer, Pokémon TCG Pocket will introduce a card-trading feature at the start of 2025 giving players the long-awaited ability to trade select cards.

Pokmon Trading Card Game Pocket provided new details on when trading and new cards will be coming to the popular card app, along with other features.

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".

The developers behind Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket have teased some of the updates players can expect to receive in the coming months, including additional booster packs, trading, and other new features.
