Pokemon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown Release Date & Time Confirmed
The Pokémon TCG Pocket game is getting a significant 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 features.
Space-Time Smackdown Release Date in Pokémon TCG Pocket
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, official sources confirm the 30th, likely to accommodate various time zones.
Booster Pack Details
Unlike Genetic Apex's three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, Pikachu), Space-Time Smackdown features only two, 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.
