What the Pokémon TCG Pocket game is
Pokémon TCG Pocket is a mobile version of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, published by The Pokémon Company. It is aimed at people who want to collect Pokémon cards and battle with them on a phone. The listing gives its content rating as PEGI 16.
The game is built around three things: opening packs to build a collection, battling with the cards you have, and trading or sharing cards with friends in the game. The listing presents these as one ongoing loop rather than separate modes.
Opening booster packs and building a collection
Two booster packs can be opened each day at no cost. Each pack adds cards to your collection, so the daily packs are the main way the collection grows.
The cards come in two groups. Some show older, nostalgic illustrations, and others exist only in this game. The listing also says the newer cards use illustrations with a 3D feel, which it describes as a deliberate design choice for the card art.
Trading and sharing cards with friends
The share feature lets you give one card of 1 to 4 diamond rarity to a friend in the game, and in return you receive one card back from them. It is a one-for-one exchange, not a trade you set up with specific cards.
The separate trade feature covers more cards. Certain cards can be traded, including cards from the most recent booster packs and cards of 2-star, Shiny 1 and Shiny 2 rarity. The listing says these trades are with friends.
Battling with the cards you collect
Battling is the other half of the game. The cards you open and trade form the deck you battle with, so the packs, trades and battles all feed into each other. The listing does not describe battle formats or rules in detail.
The game is played on mobile devices, so collecting and battling can happen on a phone at any point in the day.
