Pokémon TCG Pocket releases new premium pass and trade tokens reward

April Fools' Day might be known for pranks, but fans of Pokémon TCG Pocket have a genuine reason to celebrate today. The game is rolling out new premium pass rewards alongside a generous gift of 1000 Trade Tokens for all players. No, it's not a joke!

The introduction of trade tokens isn't entirely unexpected. Trading was a feature eagerly awaited by players, but its initial implementation left many feeling frustrated. While we're set to see changes to the trading mechanics this autumn, these tokens serve as a helpful safety net for fans in the meantime.

The excitement truly ramps up with the new premium pass rewards. Players can now enjoy a Shiny Charizard-themed playmat, coin, backdrop, and various other cosmetics. Additionally, Sprigatito enthusiasts can claim a new themed card through premium missions, showcasing the catlike Pokémon playfully navigating a series of rooftops.

While the ongoing efforts to improve the trading feature may not fully address the wait for significant changes, Pokémon TCG Pocket remains a commendable adaptation of the classic card game. However, it also highlights the challenges of bringing a physical TCG to the mobile platform.

The continuous addition of premium pass rewards and fresh content helps to mitigate these issues for many players. As we anticipate the trading fixes, we can look forward to more exciting additions like these.
