Trade locked cards? It's simple, really. They're there to make you play more and maybe spend a bit. If you could just trade for every card you wanted, where's the fun in that? Plus, it keeps the game's economy stable.

Some cards in Pokemon TCG are trade locked to maintain game balance and encourage players to participate in various in-game events or purchase products. Essentially, it prevents the market from being flooded with high-value cards, keeping the game fun and fair for everyone. Think of it like a way to make sure all players get to enjoy the thrill of the hunt for rare cards without having everything available right off the bat.

Gotta say, I don't mind the trade locked cards. Forces you to actually play the game and earn your keep, if you ask me.
