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

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion arrives in Pokémon TCG Pocket on January 30th at 1:00 AM Eastern Time. While some initial announcements suggested January 29th, the official Pokémon website and X account confirm the 30th, likely to account for time zone differences.

How Many Booster Packs Are There?

Unlike Genetic Apex, which featured three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu), Space-Time Smackdown offers two booster packs themed around Palkia and Dialga. As you might expect from these Pokémon, the set focuses heavily on Gen 4 (Diamond and Pearl), though cards from other generations will also be included.

All New Cards Revealed in Space-Time Smackdown

While the full card list isn't yet available, here are some highlights:

Remember, while trading is enabled with the Space-Time Smackdown release, trading will be limited to Genetic Apex and Mythical Island cards. You won't be able to trade Space-Time Smackdown cards at launch.
