New Cards Revealed in Space-Time Smackdown

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 initial announcements suggested January 29th, the official Pokémon website and social media confirm the 30th, likely to accommodate various time zones.

Number of Booster Packs

Unlike Genetic Apex, which included three booster packs, Space-Time Smackdown will feature only two booster packs, themed around Palkia and Dialga. This suggests a strong focus on Generation IV Pokémon, from the Diamond and Pearl games, although Pokémon from other generations will also be included.

New Cards Revealed

A full card list isn't yet available, but here are some highlights:
