When Does Space-Time Smackdown Come Out in Pokémon TCG Pocket?
The Space-Time Smackdown expansion arrives in Pokémon TCG Pocket on January 30th at 1:00 AM Eastern Time. While some initial announcements suggested January 29th, the official Pokémon website and X account confirm the 30th, likely to account for various time zones.
How Many Booster Packs Are There?
Unlike Genetic Apex, which featured three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu), Space-Time Smackdown includes only two, themed around Palkia and Dialga. As you might expect from these iconic Pokémon, the set heavily focuses on Generation IV (Diamond and Pearl), though cards from other generations will also be present.
