When Does Space-Time Smackdown Come Out in Pokemon TCG Pocket? How Many Booster Packs Are There? All New Cards Revealed in Space-Time Smackdown

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. While the trailer suggests a January 29 release, the official Pokemon website and X account confirm January 30, accommodating different time zones to ensure most players can access the packs on the same day.

How Many Booster Packs Are There?

Unlike the Genetic Apex set, which featured three booster packs themed around Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu, Space-Time Smackdown will offer two packs centered on Palkia and Dialga. Given the focus on these legendary Pokemon, fans can expect a strong emphasis on Generation 4, particularly the Diamond and Pearl games, though cards from other generations will also be included.
