When Does Space-Time Smackdown Launch in Pokémon TCG Pocket?

Space-Time Smackdown 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 account for time zone differences.

How Many Booster Packs Are Included?

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