Yes—Pokémon TCG Pocket lets you collect cards in nine languages. To get cards from booster packs in a different language, change the app’s language before opening them. Existing cards keep the language they were acquired in.
Which languages are available?
Pokémon Support lists nine supported languages: Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean. The Pokémon Company also described the global release as offering cards in nine languages in 2024. Availability can change, so check the current list in the app.
How do you get cards in another language?
Booster packs
Booster-pack cards use the app language selected when you acquire them. To change that setting, tap Menu (the rightmost button on the bottom navigation bar), then go to Other > Settings > Language Selection. Choose the language you want before acquiring cards. Changing the setting does not convert cards already in your collection. Pokémon Support’s Gameplay FAQ explains that owned cards remain in the language in which they were acquired.
Wonder Pick
Wonder Pick cards reflect the language of the cards obtained by the other player. They do not necessarily follow your own app-language setting. Pokémon Support’s Gameplay FAQ describes this distinction.
