Introducing on the eve of the Space-Time Smackdown<\/a> expansion, Trade Tokens allow you to trade cards rated as three-diamond, four-diamond, or one-star rarity, though both you and the person you trade with will need to spend these tokens.<\/p>\n

This guide will go over how to get Trade Tokens in Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket<\/em><\/strong>, and also explain how to recover your Trade Stamina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How to get Trade Tokens in Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You earn Trade Tokens by converting them for duplicates of rare cards. Once you exchange a card for Trade Tokens, you will no longer have that card<\/strong>. That card will be removed from your collection forever, just like with Flair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To convert a card into Trade Tokens, you need three or more copies of the same card. The game will not allow you to exchange a card that you have two or fewer copies of into Trade Tokens. Here are the steps on how to get Trade Tokens:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the \u201cMy Cards\u201d section of the app. <\/li>\n
  2. Find a card that is a three-diamond rarity or higher. Make sure you have three or more copies of the card.<\/li>\n
  3. Tap the card in your collection. <\/li>\n
  4. Touch the \u201cObtain Items\u201d button.<\/li>\n
  5. Tap the icon that looks like a green card with two arrows circling it. <\/li>\n
  6. Click \u201cExchange\u201d and then \u201cOK.\u201d <\/li>\n
  7. A short animation will play and the game will award you with your new Trade Tokens. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The amount of Trade Tokens you get for a card depends on the rarity of the card you convert. Here is the exchange value for each rarity of card:<\/p>\n
