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 initial announcements suggested January 29th, the official Pokémon website and X account confirm the 30th, likely to account for timezone differences.

How Many Booster Packs Are There?

Unlike Genetic Apex, which featured three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu), Space-Time Smackdown offers two booster packs themed around Palkia and Dialga. As you might expect from these iconic Pokémon, the set heavily features Generation IV Pokémon from the Diamond and Pearl games, though cards from other generations will also be included.
