Pokémon Trading Cards are all the rage in the world of the rich and young, and now, they're going to make a digital comeback in the world of gaming: Pokémon TCG Live is coming to PC & Mobile.
Look, I love me some TCGs. Runeterra, Hearthstone, Magic... also, Slay the Spire, and Monster Train – that's my jam and my jelly. Also, as a 30-year-old man, I have some serious Pokémon nostalgia flowing through my veins, so a Pokémon TCG coming to mobile and PC? Hype. Mucho, mucho hype.
Pokémon Trading Card Game: TCG Live – What We Know
Pokémon TCG Live Platforms
Pokémon TCG Live will be released on mobile and PC. Yes, both Android and iOS can get in on the action, unless Apple decides to get weird. You never know with them...
- More Pokémon? Sure, we have an entire Pokémon section, fool.
Will Pokémon TCG Live Be Released on the Nintendo Switch?
Strangely, no. Pokémon TCG Live is not coming to the Nintendo Switch, and it seems like Switch players will have to sit this one out. Though, arguably, they all have a smartphone they can play the game on, anyway.

Will Pokémon TCG Live Have Crossplay?
Yes, the game will have crossplay between all mobile devices and between smartphones and PC.
Can You Trade Cards in Pokémon TGC Live?
No, you can't trade cards in Pokémon TGC Live. The game is all about battling other players – much like Hearthstone, Runeterra and Magic. You build your decks through daily challenges and battle other players online. There's no word on whether or not you can play against AI, but we'd assume that it will be an option.
Pokémon TCG Live Release Date
Pokémon TCG Live is releasing later this year for PC, Mac and mobile. Canadians rejoice: You're getting a soft-launch before that, though we don't have an exact date yet.
Will My TCG Online Content Carry Over to TGC Live?
Yes, you can log into the Pokémon TGC Live app with your TGC Online account and your content will carry over into the new game.
That's all we know about the game so far, but we're gonna leave you with some additional commentary for the devs:
As we look back on 25 wonderful years of Pokémon, we are once again reminded of how the Pokémon Trading Card Game has always been a strong pillar of the franchise and beloved by young and veteran Trainers alike. Pokémon TCG Live will go hand in hand with the tabletop version that fans know and love, and welcomes a new era of digital play where Trainers around the world can play together regardless of their preferred platform.
