Unlock the Power of Pokémon TCG Pocket: A Booster Pack Guide
At launch, Pokémon TCG Pocket offers three booster packs from the Genetic Apex set: Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu. This guide prioritizes which packs to open first for optimal deck building and overall card value.
Which Booster Packs Should You Open First?
The Charizard pack reigns supreme. It offers not only the powerful Charizard Ex, crucial for building a high-damage Fire-type deck, but also Sabrina, arguably the game's best Supporter card. Beyond that, the pack also includes valuable cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja, plus Erika and Blaine, vital for Fire and Grass decks respectively.
Booster Pack Priority Ranking:
Here's the recommended order for opening your booster packs:
- Charizard: This pack provides the most versatile and essential cards for various deck types.
- Mewtwo: Excellent for building a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
- Pikachu: While currently featuring the meta-defining Pikachu Ex deck, its cards are more niche and potentially less valuable long-term, especially with the upcoming Promo Mankey potentially shifting the meta.
While you'll eventually need to open all three packs to complete secret missions, focusing on the Charizard pack first grants access to highly versatile key cards. Use any remaining Pack Points to acquire missing cards from other packs.
