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

Mark your calendars! The Space-Time Smackdown expansion set is slated to launch in Pokemon TCG Pocket on January 30 at 1 a.m. Eastern Time. It's important to note that while the trailer initially suggested a January 29 release, both the official Pokemon website and their X account have confirmed the January 30 date. This adjustment likely accommodates various 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 offered three booster packs themed around Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu, Space-Time Smackdown will feature just two booster packs. These packs are centered around Palkia and Dialga, hinting at a strong focus on the fourth generation from the Diamond and Pearl games. However, fans can still expect to see Pokémon from other generations included in this set.
