The first major Pokemon TCG Pocket event of 2025 has arrived. Space-Time Smackdown celebrates the Sinnoh region with special booster packs showcasing legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. While many trainers are excited about these new additions, others still seek cards from previous sets. Here's your guide to accessing Genetic Apex booster packs during this limited-time event.

The good news? These classic packs haven't disappeared. Here's how to find them:
- From the pack-opening screen, navigate to the bottom-right corner
- Select "Choose alternative booster packs"
- Pick the Genetic Apex collection
- Select your preferred pack variant
