The Friend ID is a unique identifier for each player in Pokemon TCG Pocket. You can find your Friend ID by tapping on your name at the top center of your screen. Once your profile details come up, your Friend ID will be mentioned at the top right corner of your screen.

Here is how you can add friends in Pokemon TCG Pocket using the unique Friend ID:

  • Open Pokemon TCG Pocket and head to the Social Tab (third or middle option at the bottom).
  • Tap on Friends.
  • In the next screen, tap on the “+” icon at the top, on the right side of the “Number of Friends” option.
  • In the dialogue box that opens, enter your friend’s friend ID. Do not use hyphens when entering the Friend ID.
  • Search and add your friend once Pokemon TCG Pocket finds your friend’s profile.

2) Send a Friend Request After Wonder Pick

After you have completed a Wonder Pick, you will get an option to thank the person. You will also find the “Send Friend Request” option above this. Simply tap on this button to send a friend request to this particular payer in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

3) Send a Friend Request After Battling Them

The method is the same as the previous one. After you battle someone, you will come to the same screen irrespective of whether you win or lose the match. You will see an option to thank them or send a friend request.

Why Should You Add Friends in Pokemon TCG Pocket?

Pokemon TCG Pocket will launch trading soon in January 2025. As such, having friends might be a necessity since you might not be able to trade with someone unless they are on your friend list. Moreover, your friends’ Booster Pack openings will appear in the Wonder Pick section for you, potentially increasing the total number of choices you can get.
