Best Ways to Get Trade Tokens in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Trade Tokens are a unique Pokémon TCG Pocket consumable as they are used to swap Pokémon between friends, and there are ways to gather them fast and easily for higher-profile Trading.

Pokémon TCG Pocket has been a smash hit since day one. Its first month alone made over $120 million, and its developers have continued to pump constant content into the free-to-play Pokémon title. One absent feature was finally added in January 2025—Trading.

Part of the long-awaited function requires you to micromanage a currency called Trade Tokens. This handy guide shows you how to get Tokens, the best ways to do so, and how to use them.

Pokémon TCG Pocket Trade Tokens are earned by exchanging duplicate cards in the “My Cards” section of the app. It has to be a card with a rarity rating of Three-Diamond or higher.

If you’re familiar with Flair, this should be quite straightforward. A quick inspection of your card collection shows you how many of each card you have. You likely have a larger quantity of One-Diamond and Two-Diamond cards than you do anything else.

Here’s a quick guide to getting Trade Tokens in

:

1. On the Pokémon TCG Pocket app, press the My Cards button found along the bottom bar tabs.

3. Make sure you have three or more of the Card.
4. If you do, press on it.
5. Choose Obtain Items.
6. Press on the Trade Token exchange option (it’s the green symbol I’ve shown in the guide already).
7. Finally, press Exchange.
8. An animation plays to give you your Trade Token(s) at the end of it.

Fastest Way to Get Trade Tokens in Pokémon TCG Pocket

The best and fastest way to get Trade Tokens is to open more packs and make sure to exchange duplicates of your highest-rated cards to get more Trade Tokens.

You can’t buy Trade Tokens in the shop, nor can you spend real money on Trading. Sacrificing your highest-rated swaps is the best way to get more Trade Tokens right now. To do so, open Packs, acquire more Hourglasses from the Shop, battles, and Events, and hoard those Packs!

Remember, you need to have at least three of a card to use the Obtain Items feature and obtain Trade Tokens. I was fortunate by the time Trading came around, I had several Three-Star Charizard ex 280/226 cards, allowing me to earn a lot of Trade Tokens from the get-go.

If you’re not interested in Flair, or you favor Trade Tokens, this is currently the way to go.

What Are Trade Tokens in Pokémon TCG Pocket?

Trade Tokens are one of two items required to perform a Trade in Pokémon TCG Pocket.

It would be nice to do a simple one-off Trade like in the Pokémon games. However, just as Pokémon GO requires Stardust, Pocket adheres to its own consumable item currencies: Trade Tokens and Trade Stamina.

The better the rarity of the Pokémon, the more Trade Tokens are needed. If you follow my guide though, it should be easier than catching a Weedle with a Master Ball. Stay on top of Trade Tokens and you should always have enough to perform quick Trades.
