The Space-Time Smackdown expansion set will be released in Pokemon TCG Pocket on January 30, at 1 a.m. Eastern Time. It's important to note that while the trailer suggests a January 29 release, the official Pokemon website and X account confirm the January 30 date. This adjustment likely accounts for different time zones, ensuring that most players can access the packs on the 30th.

How Many Booster Packs Are There?

Unlike the Genetic Apex set, which featured three booster packs themed around Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion will include only two booster packs. These packs will be themed around Palkia and Dialga, spotlighting Generation 4 from the Diamond and Pearl games. However, expect to see Pokemon from other generations as well, adding diversity to your collection.
