Space-Time Smackdown Release Date in Pokémon TCG Pocket

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion launches 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.

Number of Booster Packs

Unlike Genetic Apex, which included three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu themes), Space-Time Smackdown offers only two booster packs, focusing on Palkia and Dialga. This suggests a strong emphasis on Generation IV Pokémon (Diamond and Pearl), though other generations will likely be represented.

Important Note: While trading will be enabled with the Space-Time Smackdown release, trading will be restricted to cards from Genetic Apex and Mythical Island only. Space-Time Smackdown cards will not be immediately tradeable.
