Best Booster Packs in Pokémon TCG Pocket
For optimal deck construction and powerful cards, prioritize the Charizard packs. These packs offer access to not only the high-damage Charizard Ex and key Fire-type Pokémon for a top-tier deck, but also Sabrina, the game's best Supporter card.
Beyond Charizard Ex, these packs also include powerful cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja. Erika and Blaine are valuable additions for Grass and Fire decks respectively.
Prioritizing Your Booster Packs
Here's the recommended order for opening your booster packs:
-
Charizard: Focus on acquiring versatile and crucial cards from this pack first. The cards within are highly usable across multiple deck archetypes.
-
Mewtwo: This pack is excellent for building a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
-
Pikachu: While Pikachu Ex is currently a top meta deck, its cards are less versatile and may become less relevant quickly with new card releases like Promo Mankey. Prioritize acquiring core cards from the other packs before focusing on this one.
While completing secret missions requires opening all three packs eventually, strategically opening the Charizard pack initially provides the most impactful cards for building a strong and adaptable deck. Use Pack Points to fill any gaps after opening your initial packs.
