The Pokemon TCG Pocket community is buzzing with excitement over the upcoming Space-Time Smackdown expansion, following the success of the Genetic Apex set. Here's a detailed look at what fans can expect from this thrilling new addition.
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.
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.
While we don't have a complete list of all the cards yet, here's a sneak peek at some of the highlights:
Card | Effect |
---|---|
Dialga Ex | 150HP Metallic Turbo (2 Metal Energy): Take 2 Metal Energy from your Energy Zone and attach it to 1 of your Benched Pokemon. 30 damage. Heavy Impact (2 Metal, 2 Colorless Energy): 100 damage. 2 Retreat Cost |
Palkia Ex | 150HP Slash (1 Water Energy): 30 damage. Dimensional Storm (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy): Discard 3 Water Energy from this Pokemon. This attack also does 20 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon. 150 damage. |
