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 clarify that while the trailer mentions a Jan. 29 release date, the official Pokemon website and X account confirm the expansion will launch on Jan. 30. This discrepancy accounts for various time zones, ensuring most players can access the packs on the 30th.
How Many Booster Packs Are There?
Unlike the Genetic Apex set, which included three booster packs themed around Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu, Space-Time Smackdown will feature only two booster packs. These are themed around Palkia and Dialga, hinting at a strong focus on Generation 4, particularly the Diamond and Pearl games. However, fans can still anticipate seeing Pokemon from other generations as well.
