A newPokemon Trading Card Game Pocketrumor has teased changes coming soon to the trading system. AfterPokemon TCG Pocketwas released, one of the features most requested by players was the ability to trade cards with each other. In January 2025, the anticipated feature finally debuted in the game, but its reception generated mixed reactions.
While players liked the feature, otherPokemon TCG Pocketplayers were frustratedwith how the system worked. The biggest complaints were the high cost of trade tokens and that some cards could not be traded, which surprisedPokemon TCG Pocketplayers. After the initial negative feedback, deNA announced on January 31 that it would adjust the system and then started giving away trade tokens to players relatively frequently. The developers addressed the issue again on March 13, revealing the future removal of trade tokens and other adjustments to make trades more enjoyable and accessible. Now, aPokemon TCGleak sheds light on even more potential tweaks.
On thePokemon TCG Pocketsubreddit,user sylveon_eevee claimsthat the trading system will get an update on July 29. According to them,Pokemon TCG Pocketwill remove trade tokens, and Shinedust will take its place as the currency used for trades. The conversion of trade tokens to Shinedust will be unlimited and start with players using one token to obtain 10 Shinedust. It will also be possible to get 100 or 1000 Shinedust in these conversions, but the leak does not reveal how many tokens will be necessary in each case.

The OP notes that the Shinedust cost for trades is currently not confirmed and that promotional andtwo-starPokemon TCG Pocketcardswill not be included in this update.
The information shared by sylveon_eevee should be taken with a grain of salt, as it is currently speculation and may change until an official announcement from the developers.
