Pokémon TCG Pocket confirms Space-Time Smackdown expansion release date
The space-time continuum is about to be ripped a new one.
As much as it sounds like an old wrestling game, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion is actually a new update for Pokémon TCG Pocket.
It's time for the generation of Diamond and Pearl, which means the likes of Dialga and Palkia.
Don't worry if you haven't collected all the previous boosters, because this update won't stop you opening old packs.
And with trading on the way, we'll soon be bulking up our packs with ease.
So let's take a closer look at what Pokémon TCG Pocket's Space-Time Smackdown expansion entails!
When is the Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown release date?
The Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown release date is Thursday 30th January, The Pokémon Company has confirmed!
There's some confusion regarding the release date, as the trailer suggests it is 29th January while every other official source tells us it is the 30th. Given this is just next week, we'll find out soon enough.
When is the Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown release time?
The time hasn't officially been released, but we'd hazard a guess at 6am GMT for those of us in the UK, purely from previous releases.
The new Dialga and Pialka-themed booster packs contain over 140 new Pokémon cards to collect on your smartphone – we hope you have plenty of Pack Hourglasses saved up to unpack as many as possible ASAP.
On to what cards are included in the A2 Space-Time Smackdown Dialga and Pialka boosters, read on to find out.
