When Does Space-Time Smackdown Launch 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 accommodate various time zones.
How Many Booster Packs are Included?
Unlike Genetic Apex, which offered three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, Pikachu themes), Space-Time Smackdown contains two booster packs, featuring Palkia and Dialga. This suggests a strong focus on Generation IV Pokémon (Diamond and Pearl), though cards from other generations will also be present.
