The Pokémon Company (TPCi) has confirmed that the feature will roll out later this month, coinciding with the launch of the game's next set of cards. More significantly, trades will only be possible for cards of the same rarity level. This means that high-value EX cards, which are often powerful, cannot be exchanged for lower-tier common cards, preventing potential imbalances in the trading ecosystem. TPCi has also confirmed that only cards with rarity levels of 1 to 4 diamonds or single-star full-art cards will be eligible for trading. This means that some of the most sought-after and powerful cards, such as gold cards and EX full-art cards, will remain non-tradeable, which could be disappointing for collectors hoping to complete their sets through trading rather than constant pack openings. With new booster packs expected to launch alongside the update, the game’s card pool will expand, potentially offering more valuable and desirable cards.
