Maximize Your Pokémon TCG Pocket Experience: A Booster Pack Guide
At launch, Pokémon TCG Pocket offers three Genetic Apex booster packs: Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu. This guide prioritizes which packs to open first to optimize your card collection and deck building.
Which Booster Packs Should You Open First?
The Charizard pack reigns supreme. It offers not only the powerful Charizard Ex for high-damage Fire-type decks, but also Sabrina, a top-tier Supporter card invaluable across multiple deck strategies. Further, the pack includes strong cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja, alongside Erika and Blaine, crucial for Grass and Fire deck construction respectively.
Pokémon TCG Pocket Booster Pack Priority:
Here's the recommended order for opening your booster packs:
-
Charizard: This pack provides the most versatile and essential cards for building a strong foundation across various deck types.
-
Mewtwo: A solid choice for constructing a Psychic-focused deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
-
Pikachu: While currently a meta deck, the Pikachu Ex deck's cards are highly specialized and may become less relevant with future updates (like the Promo Mankey). Focus on acquiring versatile cards first.
While completing secret missions requires opening all three packs eventually, prioritizing the Charizard pack ensures you acquire crucial, widely applicable cards. Use any remaining Pack Points to strategically obtain missing cards from the other packs.
