Which Booster Packs Should You Open First?

The Charizard pack reigns supreme. It offers not only the powerful Charizard Ex for building a high-damage Fire-type deck, but also Sabrina, the game's best Supporter card. Additional valuable cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, Greninja, Erika, and Blaine significantly enhance both Fire and Grass decks.

Prioritizing Your Booster Packs: A Ranked Approach

Here's the recommended order of priority for opening your booster packs:

1. Charizard: Focus on this pack first to acquire versatile and essential cards that are valuable across multiple deck types.

2. Mewtwo: This pack is excellent for constructing a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.

3. Pikachu: While the Pikachu Ex deck currently dominates the meta, its cards are highly specialized. With the introduction of Promo Mankey, the Pikachu Ex deck's meta dominance is likely temporary. Therefore, prioritizing other packs for more versatile cards is strategically advantageous.

While completing secret missions eventually requires opening all three packs, maximizing your initial investment by starting with the Charizard pack provides a foundation of crucial and widely applicable cards. You can then use Pack Points to strategically acquire any missing pieces.
