Unlocking the Best Booster Packs in Pokémon TCG Pocket: A Strategic Guide
At the game's 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.
Which Booster Packs Should You Prioritize?
Undeniably, the Charizard pack reigns supreme. It offers not only the powerful Charizard Ex for high-damage Fire-type decks, but also Sabrina, 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 Grass and Fire deck construction.
Pokémon TCG Pocket Booster Pack Priority List:
Here's the recommended order for opening your booster packs:
-
Charizard: This pack provides the most versatile and crucial cards for various deck types.
-
Mewtwo: Excellent for building a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
-
Pikachu: While the Pikachu Ex deck currently dominates the meta, its cards are highly specialized. With the introduction of Promo Mankey, its meta dominance is likely temporary. Focusing on more versatile cards first is a better long-term strategy.
While completing secret missions will eventually require opening all three packs, prioritizing Charizard allows you to acquire essential, widely applicable cards. Use any remaining Pack Points to acquire any missing pieces.
