How to Link Pokémon TCG Pocket and Transfer Save Data
Link your Pokémon TCG Pocket save data to a supported account before replacing, reinstalling, or adding a device. The linked account lets you load the same collection on iOS or Android without starting over.
Link an account before changing devices
Keep access to the current save and link it before uninstalling the app, replacing the device, or clearing its data. From the main menu, the account screen is Menu > Other > Account.
Pokémon Support allows Nintendo Account, Google Account, or Apple Account linking. Apple Account appears only on iOS, and age rules may limit younger players to Nintendo Account.
Choose the linked account carefully. It cannot be updated or removed from an active save, and deleting save data to remove it is irreversible.
Transfer your save in seven steps
The primary route below starts from an open save. From the title screen, use Menu in the top-right > Account instead of Menu > Other > Account.
Your collection loads on the new device
The new device loads the last save data stored on the server, including the collection, items, progress, and Poké gold. Poké gold remains available even when transferring between iOS and Android.
A linked save can be shared across multiple devices, but Pokémon Support states that the same save cannot be used on two devices at the same time.
Linked accounts cannot be replaced
An account linked to active save data cannot be updated or removed. Multiple save files cannot be merged, and deleting save data permanently removes the collection and access from every linked device.
Premium pass privileges are tied to the Apple Account or Google Account used for the subscription. A different or shared platform account can move those privileges, and a transferred pass can carry a 60-day re-transfer restriction.
Deleting save data does not automatically cancel an active premium pass subscription; cancel it through the store account used to subscribe.
Fix missing or incorrect save data
Apple Account or Google Account is missing: age restrictions may limit the available providers, and Apple Account linking appears only on iOS. Players who recently reached the required age may need to wait until the following month.
The transferred save does not appear: on the original device, open Menu > Other > Account and confirm the exact provider marked Linked. Use that same provider and login on the new device.
The app was reinstalled before an account was linked: self-service recovery is unavailable. Contact Pokémon Support; restoration depends on the stored server data and is not guaranteed.
