Why can't I trade some cards on Pokemon TCG Online?
So, you've hit a snag with trading on Pokemon TCG Online, huh? Well, there are a couple of reasons why some cards aren't up for trade. First off, if the card's marked as 'Not Tradable,' it's likely because it was obtained through certain methods within the game, like rewards from Trainer Challenge, some in-game events, or from codes that specify the cards are not tradable. It's their way of maintaining balance in the game, ensuring not everything's up for grabs the moment you get it!

Just to add a quick note - some cards can't be traded because they're locked to your account. These are the cards you get from starter decks or those free packs the game hands out. Basically, if you didn't trade for it or pull it from a pack you got with redeemable codes or bought with gems (where applicable), it's stuck with you.
Don't overthink it. Cards you can't trade are usually ones you got for free or as part of a promo. They're meant to start your collection, not to be traded away.
