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 lists a January 29 release date, the official Pokemon website and X account confirm the January 30 date. This discrepancy likely accounts for different time zones, ensuring the packs are available for most players 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, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion will include two booster packs. These packs are themed around the legendary Pokemon Palkia and Dialga, suggesting a strong focus on Generation 4, inspired by the Diamond and Pearl games. However, fans can also expect to see Pokemon from other generations.
