When Does Space-Time Smackdown Come Out in Pokemon TCG Pocket?

Mark your calendars: the Space-Time Smackdown expansion set will be available in Pokemon TCG Pocket on January 30, at 1 a.m. Eastern Time. It's important to note that while the trailer suggests a January 29 release, the official Pokemon website and X account clarify that it will launch on January 30. This adjustment likely accommodates different time zones, ensuring that most players can access the packs on the 30th.

How Many Booster Packs Are There?

Unlike the Genetic Apex set, which featured three booster packs themed around Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu, Space-Time Smackdown will offer two booster packs. These packs are themed around Palkia and Dialga, hinting at a strong focus on Generation 4, particularly the Diamond and Pearl games. However, expect to see Pokemon from other generations as well, adding diversity to your collection.
