Pokemon TCG Pocket Trading Requirements
Trading has a few requirements and the first is that players needTrade Stamina to complete trades.

Poke Gold can be bought with real money, while Trade Hourglasses are earned as mission rewards.
The second requirement is thatboth cards in the trade must be of the same rarity. This also applies to cards equipped with flair. The game will not let you choose a lower or higher rarity card on the receiving end of the offer.
