When Does Space-Time Smackdown Come Out in Pokemon TCG Pocket?
The Space-Time Smackdown expansion set is slated to launch in Pokemon TCG Pocket on January 30, at 1 a.m. Eastern Time. It's crucial to note that while the trailer mentions a January 29 release, the official Pokemon website and X account clarify that it will be available on January 30. This adjustment likely accounts for different time zones, ensuring most players can access the packs on the 30th.
How Many Booster Packs Are There?
Unlike Genetic Apex, which featured three booster packs themed around Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu, Space-Time Smackdown will introduce two packs centered on Palkia and Dialga. Given the focus on these legendary Pokémon, it's anticipated that this set will predominantly feature Pokémon from Generation 4, particularly those from the Diamond and Pearl games. However, fans can expect to see a mix of Pokémon from various generations as well.
