In the world of Pokemon TCG, 'trade locked' means that certain cards you have cannot be traded with other players. It's like those cards have an invisible shield around them saying 'nope, can't pass me to someone else'. This usually happens with cards you get as rewards from the game's online version or through certain promotions. So if you were planning to swap that shiny Charizard with a friend, you might want to double-check if it's trade locked first!

'Trade locked' in Pokemon TCG means that certain cards cannot be traded with other players. Usually, these are cards you've obtained through the game as rewards or in promotional events. Think of them as bound to your collection鈥攏o swapping them with friends or strangers, sadly.

Trade locked? It means you're stuck with it forever. No tradesies.

Trade locked cards are basically glued to your account. Can't trade 'em, can't send 'em off to someone else. You got 'em, you keep 'em. Useful for building your deck, but not for trading.

Been there, done that. Got this awesome card from an online battle, and guess what? It was trade locked. Couldn't trade it even if I wanted to. It's like owning a digital trophy that you can show off but can't give away.
