When Does Space-Time Smackdown Release 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 announcements suggested January 29th, the official Pokémon website and X account confirm the 30th, likely to accommodate various time zones.

How Many Booster Packs Are Included?

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