One of the best Dark type decks in PTCGP after the Space Time Smackdown set is focused on Darkrai ex and Weavile ex

There are a number of ways to build up Palkia ex in Pocket, but we found it worked best alongside Vaporeon, Manaphy, and a singular Articuno ex for easy Energy Token control and immense damage output. Building this deck may take newer players a little more time, as it features cards from every set and themed booster pack in the game so far.

This means that players actually won't be able to trade cards from the Space-Time Smackdown expansion when it launches, and will instead have to wait for that option. It also means that all the Pokemon TCG Pocket rarest cards can't be traded, so if you wanted somebody's gold Mewtwo ex, you won't get it.

In this Pokemon TCG Pocket Trading Guide, we’ll go over how to trade your pokemon, detailing how the process works. Furthermore, we’ll explain what resources you’ll need in order to complete a trade and earn new pokemon.

The Trading system in Pokemon TCG Pocket lets you exchange cards with other players on your friends list.
