How to Get Trade Tokens in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Trade Tokens have arrived in Pokémon TCG Pocket, opening up an exciting opportunity for players to swap cards with their friends and work towards completing their dream collections.
The highly - anticipated feature is finally here! Players can now officially engage in Pokémon card trading within Pokémon TCG Pocket by making use of Trade Tokens. However, it's important to note that only certain card rarities are eligible for trading, and both trading parties must have sufficient tokens to finalize the trade. So, the big question on every player's mind is: How exactly do you get these precious tokens?
We're here to guide you through everything you need to know about obtaining and using Trade Tokens in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
How to Get Trade Tokens and Trade Stamina in Pokémon TCG Pocket

The moment you log in for the first time after the update in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you'll be pleasantly surprised with a reward of a set of Trade Tokens and Trade Stamina. This is the simplest and most straightforward way to get your initial supply of these valuable resources. All you need to do is collect them from your in - game mailbox.
When it comes to Trade Stamina, there are a couple of options at your disposal. You can use hourglasses, similar to how you use them for Wonder Picks, to instantly replenish your Trade Stamina. Alternatively, you can choose the more patient approach and wait for it to naturally replenish over time.
For acquiring more Trade Tokens, follow these detailed steps:
1. Access Your Card Collection: Navigate to your card collection in Pokémon TCG Pocket. This is the starting point for the process of obtaining additional Trade Tokens.
2. Select a High - Rarity Card: Look for and select a card with a 3 - Diamond or higher rarity level. These are the cards that can be used to exchange for Trade Tokens.
3. Press the Obtain Items Button: Once you've selected the appropriate card, locate and press the "Obtain Items" button. This will initiate the process of converting the card into Trade Tokens.
4. Exchange a Duplicate Card: If you have a duplicate of the selected high - rarity card, choose to exchange it for a certain amount of Trade Tokens. The amount of tokens you receive will increase in proportion to the rarity of the card you're exchanging.
5. Be Mindful of Card Availability: It's crucial to ensure that you're not using a card that is the only one of its kind in your collection. Exchanging a card for tokens means that the card will be removed from your collection. So, it's best to use a rare card that you have duplicates of and have no intention of trading to a friend.
How Do Trade Tokens Work?

Now that you've successfully accumulated some Trade Tokens in Pokémon TCG Pocket, it's time to put them to good use. Here's a step - by - step guide on how to execute a trade:
1. Go to the Social Hub: Head over to the Social Hub in the game. This is the central location for all your social and trading activities.
2. Select the Trade Button: Once in the Social Hub, find and select the "Trade" button. This will open up the trading interface.
3. Press the Next Trade Button: After selecting the initial Trade button, another "Trade" button will appear. Press this button to proceed further.
4. Choose a Trading Partner: Browse through your list of friends and choose the one you want to trade with. Make sure your friend also has the necessary Trade Tokens and Trade Stamina for the trade to be successful.
5. Select a Card to Trade: Pick a card from your collection that you would like to trade to your friend. Once you've made your selection, press the "OK" button.
6. Confirm the Trade: Review the details of the trade and, if everything looks correct, press "OK" again to confirm the trade. This action will deduct the required amount of Trade Tokens and Trade Stamina from your account.
Just like when earning Trade Tokens, keep in mind that the higher the rarity of the card you're trading, the more Trade Tokens you'll need to use. However, you'll receive a card of the same rarity level in return, so your tokens won't be wasted.
Follow these steps, and you'll be well on your way to a successful trading experience in Pokémon TCG Pocket!
