Unlocking the Best Booster Packs in Pokémon TCG Pocket: A Strategic Guide
At launch, Pokémon TCG Pocket offers three Genetic Apex booster packs: Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu. This guide prioritizes which packs to open first for optimal deck building and overall success.
Which Booster Packs Should You Prioritize?
Undeniably, the Charizard pack takes the top spot. It offers not only the powerful Charizard Ex for building a high-damage Fire-type deck, but also Sabrina, a top-tier Supporter card crucial for many deck strategies. Beyond Charizard Ex and Sabrina, the pack also includes strong cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja, along with Erika and Blaine, vital for Fire and Grass decks respectively.
Pokémon TCG Pocket Booster Pack Priority List:
Here's the recommended order for opening your booster packs:
-
Charizard: Focus on acquiring versatile and essential cards from this pack first. The inclusion of Sabrina alone makes this pack invaluable.
-
Mewtwo: This pack provides key components for a strong Psychic-type deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
-
Pikachu: While Pikachu Ex currently dominates the meta, its cards are less versatile and its meta dominance is predicted to be short-lived due to the introduction of Promo Mankey. Therefore, it's the lowest priority.
While completing secret missions requires opening all three packs eventually, prioritizing the Charizard pack provides a strong foundation and essential cards usable across multiple deck types. Use any remaining Pack Points to target specific cards you need to complete your desired deck.
