Can you still open Genetic Apex packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket?

Genetic Apex was the beginning of it all when Pokemon TCG Pocket launched, bringing the classic Kanto monsters into the fray.

Now we have both Mythical Island and Space-Time Smackdown sets, many are wondering if you can still go back and open the original packs to complete any collections.

Here, we’ll take a look at if you can still open Genetic Apex packs and be done with the set once and for all.

Can Genetic Apex packs still be opened after Space-Time Smackdown releases?

Even though Genetic Apex packs don’t appear in the main section of the Pokemon TCG Pocket pack selection screen, they are still accessible.

If you’re looking to complete your set, you’re in luck — there’s still a way to open them and pull those original Kanto-themed cards.

To find and open Genetic Apex packs, navigate to the pack screen and look for the “Select Other Booster Packs” option in the bottom right corner.

Pressing this will bring up a list of past booster packs, including Genetic Apex, allowing you to choose and open them just like any current set.

This feature is particularly useful for those of you who started late or missed out on early pulls but still want to complete their Genetic Apex collection.

Since newer sets have taken center stage, older packs are no longer prominently displayed, but the option to open them remains available for those who know where to look.

With new sets arriving regularly, it’s great to see that Pokemon TCG Pocket allows players to revisit older packs rather than locking them away permanently.

Thankfully, they all cost the same amount of Pack Hourglasses or refresh in the same amount of time, contrary to that of the physical TCG where packs can skyrocket in price when they go out of print.

Whether you’re after a specific holo pull or just want to relive the nostalgia of the first-ever set, you can still enjoy Genetic Apex and work toward completing your collection.
