Pokémon TCG Live is introducing a highly anticipated **trading feature** in its December 2025 update, marking a significant enhancement to the digital card game experience. This new feature will allow players to trade cards directly within the game, including cards from the latest expansions and booster packs, expanding the ways players can build and customize their decks.
The trading system will support a broad range of card rarities, including ♦ (diamond) through ♦♦♦♦♦ rarity cards, as well as ★ (star) rarity cards, extending to ★★ and Shiny 1–Shiny 2 rarity cards. This expansion of tradable cards means players can exchange some of the most sought-after and rare cards, increasing the strategic depth and social interaction within the game. Additionally, the update will include a new share feature, enabling players to give one card per friend per day, fostering community engagement and card sharing among friends[2][3].
This update aligns with the ongoing development and enhancement of Pokémon TCG digital platforms, such as Pokémon TCG Pocket, which has been steadily adding features like trading and card sharing since its launch. The December update for Pokémon TCG Live will also coincide with the introduction of Mega Evolution Pokémon cards, including powerful new cards like Mega Charizard X, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Gengar, adding fresh excitement and strategic options for players[1].
The trading feature is expected to be integrated smoothly, with improvements to the user interface such as the Wonder Pick feature, which will now display the number of cards a player owns and increase the appearance rate of unobtained cards from the latest expansions. This makes it easier for players to discover and acquire new cards through trading and gameplay[3].
The update will be rolled out during scheduled maintenance in November 2025, with the game client being offline for several hours to implement these changes. Players on Windows and MacOS will be directed to the official Pokémon website to install the latest version of Pokémon TCG Live after the update[1].
This trading feature is a major step forward in enhancing the social and competitive aspects of Pokémon TCG Live, allowing players to interact more dynamically and build their collections with greater flexibility. It reflects the developers’ commitment to listening to player feedback and continuously improving the game experience.
