Trade Tokens are one of two types of currency needed to initiate a trade in Pokémon TCG Pocket, with the other being Trade Stamina. But while stamina increases over time, you need to earn Trade Tokens manually—and a hefty amount to trade some of the rarest cards.

The creators of Pokémon TCG Pocket have issued a warning to all players not to tamper with game data or participate in real money trades, or risk getting their accounts banned. The crackdown comes right before card trading and a new Space-Time Smackdown set are added to the mobile hit.

Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket introduces trading feature, initially limited to select cards and timed. Real money trading is explicitly prohibited in the game, with consequences for violators. Trading restrictions and time-gating aim to deter profiteering and prevent quick completion of Card Dex.
