Unlocking the Best Booster Packs in Pokémon TCG Pocket: A Strategic 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 success.
Which Booster Packs Should You Prioritize?
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. Additional strong cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja are also included, along with Erika and Blaine, vital for Fire and Grass decks respectively.
Pokémon TCG Pocket Booster Pack Priority List:
Here's the recommended order for opening your booster packs:
-
Charizard: Focus on this pack first to acquire versatile and essential cards for various deck builds.
-
Mewtwo: This pack is excellent for constructing a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
-
Pikachu: While the Pikachu Ex deck is currently meta, its cards are highly specialized. With the introduction of Promo Mankey, its meta dominance may be short-lived. Therefore, prioritize the more versatile cards in the other packs first.
While completing secret missions will eventually require opening all three packs, strategically starting with the Charizard pack maximizes your chances of obtaining powerful, widely applicable cards. Use your Pack Points to fill any gaps in your collection after securing the key cards from the Charizard pack.
