The developers of Pokemon TCG Pocket have announced a series of major changes to the game’s trading system, aiming to make it more accessible and enjoyable for players. These adjustments are set to take effect by the end of autumn 2025, following ongoing feedback from the community.
The most significant update involves the removal of trade tokens, which previously served as a requirement for card exchanges. Instead, an existing currency system will be used to streamline trades.
Additional improvements are in development to enhance the overall trading experience. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the upcoming modifications.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Trade updates: Removal of Trade Tokens
Trending
Trade tokens will be completely removed, eliminating the need for players to collect them before engaging in trades. Instead, trading cards of three-diamond, four-diamond, and one-star rarity will now require shinedust.
Players will automatically earn this resource whenever they duplicate cards from booster packs, experiencing a more intuitive way to accumulate trading currency.
Since shinedust is also necessary for acquiring flair, developers are considering increasing the amount players can obtain to ensure smoother trading.
Furthermore, any trade tokens currently held by players will be converted into shinedust when this change takes effect. Importantly, the trading process for one-diamond and two-diamond rarity cards will remain unchanged.
