When Does Space-Time Smackdown Launch 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 offered three booster packs (Charizard, Mewtwo, Pikachu themes), Space-Time Smackdown contains only two booster packs, featuring Palkia and Dialga. This suggests a strong focus on Generation IV Pokémon (Diamond and Pearl), although cards from other generations are expected.
