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

by Olivia Feb 20,2025

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

Booster Pack Details

Unlike Genetic Apex, which offered three booster packs, Space-Time Smackdown includes only two booster packs. These packs will feature Palkia and Dialga, suggesting a strong focus on Generation IV Pokémon (Diamond and Pearl). However, expect to see Pokémon from other generations as well.
