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

The eagerly awaited Space-Time Smackdown expansion set is slated to launch in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* on January 30, at 1 a.m. Eastern Time. It's important to clarify that while the trailer suggests a January 29 release, the official *Pokemon* website and X account confirm the January 30 date. This discrepancy likely accommodates different time zones, ensuring that most players can access the set on the 30th.

How Many Booster Packs Are There?

In contrast to the three booster packs of Genetic Apex, themed around Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu, Space-Time Smackdown will feature just two packs, centered on Palkia and Dialga. This set's focus is expected to be heavily influenced by Generation 4, particularly the Diamond and Pearl games, though it will also include Pokémon from other generations, broadening the appeal and variety of cards available.
