The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket development team confirmed that card trading will launch in January 2025, with initial functionality limited to specific cards. The feature, currently grayed out in the game's Social Hub menu, will expand its tradable card selection over time, according to the development team's social media announcement.

According to the leaker, a new Genetic Apex booster pack, codenamed "A1a," arrives December 16, with an "A2" expansion following on January 29.
