The beta for the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) Live mobile game has been globally launched.

The game was first revealed as a replacement for the franchise's existing Pokémon Trading Card Game Online which was released a decade ago. It will feature new animations and an improved "true-to-life" gameplay that allows players to hop on to matches easily - be it with a random opponent or friends online.

Besides a more streamlined user experience, additional gameplay features were introduced including a Ranked ladder mode and a Battle Pass system where you can earn cosmetics and packs.
