Space-Time Smackdown Release Date 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 promotional materials suggested a January 29th release, the official Pokémon website and X account confirm the 30th, likely to accommodate various time zones.

How Many Booster Packs Are There?

Unlike Genetic Apex, which included three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, Pikachu themes), Space-Time Smackdown offers only two, featuring Palkia and Dialga. This suggests a strong focus on Generation IV Pokémon (Diamond and Pearl), though cards from other generations are expected.
