Pokemon TCG Pocket Anniversary update brings a new booster pack and new features to the game. From quality-of-life changes and events to free rewards, the game is giving players everything they have wanted. Not only that, but Pokemon TCG Pocket also received a new Share feature that allows you to share cards with your friends daily.
Previously, trading cards was the only option to exchange cards with friends, and it felt restricting due to the trade stamina mechanic. The Sharing feature will allow users to share and collect more cards. If you want to start right away, check out all the details for how to share Pokemon cards in TCG Pocket.
Things to Know Before You Share Pokemon TCG Pocket Cards
The Share Feature is one of the major new changes released with the latest Pokemon TCG Pocket Anniversary Update. This feature lets you share cards with friends, and before you do so, here are some things that you must remember:
- You can only share one – four diamond rarity cards, which are the Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Double Rare Cards.
- You can share with the same friend once per day. There’s a 24 hour cooldown on sharing cards.
- Your friend can claim the shared card from the Gifts section.
- Art Rare, Super Art Rare, Shiny, Super Shiny Rare, Immersive Rare, and Crown Rare cards cannot be shared.
How to Share Cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Players can share Pokemon TCG Pocket cards with friends by following these steps:
- Open the Pokemon TCG Pocket app on your Android phone or iPhone.
- Once opened, go to the Social Hub page, which is the middle-most option at the bottom of your screen.
- Click the Share button, located to the left of the Trade button.
- On the next screen, click Share at the bottom of the screen.
- This will open your friend list.
- Click Share next to the friend’s name with whom you want to share cards.
- Once done, your card list will open, and you can select a card to share.
- After selecting the card, click Share and OK to send the card to your friend.
As mentioned above, you cannot share cards with the same friend again for a whole day. Meanwhile, you can share cards with other friends. The shared cards can be claimed from the Gift box.
Tips for Sharing Cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket
While sharing cards seems simple in Pokemon TCG Pocket, here are certain things that might help you grab the cards missing in your decks.
Your first step should be setting up your wishlist cards. To do so, click on your profile, above the level. From there, scroll down to find the Wishlist feature. You can add up to three cards to your wishlist. We recommend adding your top-priority cards that you want. Doing so will allow your friends to see your desired cards, and they might share some, if they have any.
Secondly, make sure that the wishlisted cards are the rarity of Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Double Rare. Currently, these are the only four rarities of cards that can be shared. Your wishlist slot might get wasted if you add any higher rarity cards, as they are non-shareable.
We expect that the game will make Art Rare, Super Art Rare, Shiny, Super Shiny Rare, Immersive Rare, and Crown Rare shareable in the near future.
That’s everything you need to know about the sharing feature. Are you enjoying the Anniversary update and Mega Rising cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket? Let us know in the comments.
