The Pokémon Company has announced an exciting new expansion for Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket: Space-Time Smackdown. This expansion, set to be released on January 30, 2025, will feature over 140 cards, including new Pokémon ex and Trainer cards. The expansion is set in the Sinnoh region and focuses on the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia, known for their control over time and space.
The expansion introduces powerful new Pokémon ex cards. Dialga ex, a Steel-type with 150 HP, has abilities such as Metallic Turbo, which deals 30 damage and attaches two Energy cards from your Energy Zone to one of your benched Pokémon3. Palkia ex, a Water-type with the same HP, can deal significant damage with its Dimensional Storm attack, which not only hits for 150 damage but also deals 20 damage to each of your opponent’s benched Pokémon.
New Trainer cards and tools have been added to enhance gameplay. Cynthia’s Full Art card, for example, boosts the performance of Garchomp and Togekiss, allowing them to deal an additional 50 damage to the opponent’s active Pokémon. These additions are sure to offer new strategies and dynamics to the game.
