Pokémon TCG Live is one of the video games that has gotten fans of Hearthstone-style online collectible card games the most excited. After years of waging war on tables around the world and an introductory adventure into the digital format with the browser game Pokémon TCG Online, this is the year in which Nintendo is committing more seriously to this format with a full game, and we’re here to tell you everything you need to know about it.
When will Pokémon TCG Live be available on Android?
Pokémon TCG Live is now available on Android for everyone and you can download and install it from Uptodown through this link.
For the time being, Pokémon TCG Live is only available in beta format, so it doesn’t yet have all the full features. For example, one of the aspects that we’re expecting to see more progress in over the next few months is performance, giving many more devices a smoother experience.
The full version of Pokémon TCG Live does not have a specific release date yet, but it has been confirmed that it will be available sometime in 2023. Updates are expected to arrive in the coming months and the 1.0 or final version will be ready by the end of the year.

What is Pokémon TCG Live?
Pokémon TCG Live is simply the video game adaptation of the classic Pokémon trading card game (hence the name, as TCG stands for “Trading Card Game”).
This game is an evolution of the browser version that’s already been around for quite some time, called Pokémon TCG Online. Although this new version revamps the technical and graphic features, in terms of gameplay, it doesn’t bring too many changes and it even lets you transfer your team and progress from Pokémon TCG Online.
