Maximize Your Pokémon TCG Pocket Experience: A Booster Pack Guide
At launch, Pokémon TCG Pocket offers three booster packs from the Genetic Apex set: Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu. Each pack contains unique cards, making strategic pack selection crucial. This guide prioritizes packs to optimize your card collection.
Which Booster Packs Should You Prioritize?
Undoubtedly, the Charizard pack offers the best initial value. It provides access to Charizard Ex, enabling a powerful Fire-type deck capable of high damage output. Beyond Charizard, the pack includes Sabrina, arguably the game's best Supporter card, along with strong additions like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja. Erika and Blaine, vital for Fire and Grass decks respectively, are also included.
Pokémon TCG Pocket Booster Pack Priority Ranking
Here's the recommended booster pack opening order:
-
Charizard: This pack provides highly versatile and essential cards for various deck types.
-
Mewtwo: Focus on this pack after acquiring key cards from the Charizard pack. It's ideal for building a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
-
Pikachu: While Pikachu Ex currently dominates the meta, its cards are less versatile. The Pikachu deck's meta dominance may be short-lived, especially with the release of Promo Mankey.
While completing secret missions requires opening all three packs, prioritizing the Charizard pack first ensures you acquire crucial, versatile cards. Use Pack Points to fill any gaps in your collection after maximizing the Charizard and Mewtwo packs.
