There are many ways to play the Pokémon TCG, and now, with
the announcement of Pokémon TCG Live, Trainers can add phones to that list. The
new free-to-play app lets Trainers enjoy all their favorite aspects of the
Pokémon TCG—building decks, developing strategies, and battling—in an updated
digital format. The new Pokémon TCG Live will also be available on PCs, Macs,
and tablet devices.

Trainers of all skill levels will enjoy the new Pokémon TCG
Live. Those who are just getting started in the Pokémon TCG will find it easy
to learn, while experienced players will discover fresh challenges to improve
and test their skills. In addition to familiar activities like battling and
deck building, Trainers can personalize the experience with customizable
avatars and accessories. And Pokémon TCG Live will be updated periodically with
new content and features following the initial launch to continuously offer
exciting new challenges and experiences.
With
the arrival of Pokémon TCG Live, the Pokémon TCG Online will be retiring. Download
access will be removed from the App Store, Google Play, and Pokemon.com shortly
prior to the launch of Pokémon TCG Live. Existing Pokémon TCG Online players
will be able to easily transfer their account and game data to Pokémon TCG Live
upon its release.
Pokémon
TCG cards from the Sword & Shield Series, as well as cards
from Sun & Moon—Lost Thunder through Sun &
Moon—Cosmic Eclipse, are transferrable and playable in Pokémon TCG Live at
launch. Cards from earlier in the Sun & Moon Series, as
well as the XY Series and the Black & White Series,
are transferrable at launch but will not be playable until future Pokémon TCG
Live game updates. Players will be able to transfer up to four copies of a
unique Pokémon TCG card, one copy of ACE SPEC and Prism Star
cards, and 59 copies of a basic Energy card. Additional copies beyond these
limits will not be transferred, but will instead be converted into in-game
currency that can be redeemed for in-game cards and accessories.
