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

Mark your calendars for January 30, as that's when the Space-Time Smackdown expansion set will be available in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* at 1 a.m. Eastern Time. It's important to clarify that despite the trailer showing a January 29 release date, the official *Pokemon* website and X account confirm the expansion will launch on January 30. This discrepancy likely accounts for different time zones, ensuring 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, the Space-Time Smackdown will introduce two booster packs, centered around Palkia and Dialga. Given these legendary Pokémon's prominence, the set is expected to heavily feature Generation 4, drawing from the Diamond and Pearl games. However, fans can also anticipate cards from other generations, enriching the set's diversity.
