Pokemon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown Release Date & Time Confirmed

The Pokémon TCG Pocket game is getting a major update with the Space-Time Smackdown expansion, following the success of the Genetic Apex set. Here's a breakdown of the release date and new content:

Space-Time Smackdown Release Date:

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion launches 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. This likely accounts for time zone differences.

Booster Pack Details:

Unlike Genetic Apex's three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, Pikachu), Space-Time Smackdown features only two booster packs, themed around Palkia and Dialga. This suggests a strong focus on Generation IV Pokémon, from the Diamond and Pearl games, though other generations will likely be represented.

New Cards Revealed:

While a full card list isn't yet available, here are some highlights from the Space-Time Smackdown expansion:

Trading Information:

While the trading feature will be available concurrently with Space-Time Smackdown, trading will be restricted to cards from the Genetic Apex and Mythical Island sets only. Space-Time Smackdown cards will not be immediately tradeable.
