Which Booster Packs Should You Open First?

Undeniably, the Charizard pack provides the best starting point. It offers a high chance of obtaining Charizard Ex, a cornerstone for powerful Fire-type decks, and Sabrina, arguably the game's strongest Supporter card. The pack also includes valuable cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, Greninja, Erika, and Blaine, boosting deck-building flexibility.

Booster Pack Priority Ranking

Here's the recommended order for opening your booster packs:

1. Charizard: Focus on acquiring versatile and essential cards to build a strong foundation for multiple deck types.

2. Mewtwo: This pack is excellent for constructing a Psychic-type deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.

3. Pikachu: While the Pikachu Ex deck is currently meta, its cards are less versatile and may become outdated faster due to future releases like Promo Mankey.

While completing secret missions will eventually require opening all three packs, prioritizing the Charizard pack first maximizes your chances of acquiring powerful, adaptable cards. Use any remaining Pack Points to strategically acquire any missing pieces.
