The premier Pokemon TCG Pocket event for 2025 has arrived with Space-Time Smackdown, spotlighting Sinnoh region legendaries Dialga and Palkia. While trainers are excited for these new packs, many still want to chase cards from previous sets. Here's how to access Genetic Apex booster packs during the event.
After the January 30th update introduced Space-Time Smackdown, players initially panicked when they couldn't locate Genetic Apex packs - the game's foundational Kanto-focused set that holds special significance for long-time fans.
The good news? Genetic Apex remains fully accessible through these simple steps:
With access to Genetic Apex restored, here's the complete list of available cards for completionists and collectors:
| Card Number | Pokemon |
| A1 001 | Bulbasaur |
| A1 002 | Ivysaur |
| A1 003 | Venusaur |
| A1 004 | Venusaur EX |
| A1 284 | Mewtwo EX (Gold Full Art) |

The same accessibility applies to other retired sets like Mythical Island. With Pokemon TCG Pocket continually expanding its library, this functionality ensures all players can pursue their favorite cards regardless of when they joined.
This approach demonstrates The Pokemon Company's commitment to preserving collectibility and preventing content from becoming inaccessible - crucial for maintaining the game's long-term appeal.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now for iOS and Android devices.
