Which Booster Packs Should You Open First?

The Charizard pack is undoubtedly the best starting point. It offers not only the powerful Charizard Ex and key Fire-type Pokémon for a high-damage deck, but also Sabrina, arguably the game's best Supporter card. Additional valuable cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, Greninja, Erika, and Blaine (crucial for Fire and Grass decks) are also included.

Booster Pack Priority Ranking

Here's the recommended opening order:

  1. Charizard: Focus on acquiring versatile and essential cards that can be used across multiple deck types.
  2. Mewtwo: Excellent for building a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
  3. Pikachu: While currently a top meta deck, the Pikachu Ex cards are more niche and their meta dominance may be short-lived, especially with the release of Promo Mankey.

While completing secret missions will eventually require opening all three packs, prioritizing Charizard first provides a strong foundation and crucial key cards for various decks. Use your Pack Points strategically to fill any gaps after opening the Charizard pack.
