Ranked Season A3b ends today in Pokémon TCG Pocket!

Ranked Season A3b ends today, July 28 — how did your battles go? Whether you climbed high on the leaderboard or just dipped your toes into Ranked Battles, now’s the perfect time to take a break, review your deck, and prepare for what’s next.

And what’s next is big — a major overhaul of the trade system that will change the way you build and upgrade your collection.

🗓️ Pokémon TCG Pocket Trade Update: What’s Changing on July 30?

The upcoming overhaul simplifies trades and introduces new features that give players more flexibility and value from their collection.

🔁 No more Trade Tokens

• Trade Tokens will be completely removed from the game.
• If you still have them, don’t worry — you’ll be able to convert them into Hourglasses and Shinedust in the in-game shop.
• You’ll have up to one year to make the conversion.

✨ No need to sacrifice cards

• Trades will no longer require sacrificing cards from your collection.
• This means you’ll keep all your cards while still being able to exchange for the ones you want.

💎 New currency: Shinedust

• To trade for high-rarity cards (♦♦♦, ♦♦♦♦, ★), you’ll now use Shinedust.
• If you receive a card you already own in your Cardex, you’ll earn double Shinedust — a huge win for duplicate pulls!

🌟 New in-game feature: Your personal Wish List

The update also brings a long-requested feature that helps you find the exact cards you want:

• Add up to 20 cards to your Wish List.
• Choose 3 favorites to showcase on your profile.
• Manage and update everything from the My Cards section in-game.

This makes trades more transparent — other players will see what you’re looking for, making it easier to find matches.

🔥 What’s coming next in the Shop?

Dataminers have uncovered two exciting sales hidden in the shop code. While not officially confirmed, here’s what might be on the horizon:

• Summer Sale – possibly launching in August
• 1st Anniversary Sale – likely dropping in October

These could be great opportunities to pick up powerful cards or essential trade resources like Hourglasses and Shinedust.
