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 potential.
Which Booster Packs Should You Open First?
Undeniably, the Charizard pack offers the best initial value. It provides access to crucial cards for building a high-damage Fire-type deck centered around Charizard Ex. More importantly, it includes Sabrina, a top-tier Supporter card invaluable across various deck strategies. Additional powerful cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja, along with Erika and Blaine (essential for Fire and Grass decks), further enhance its value.
Booster Pack Priority: A Ranked Approach
Here's the recommended order for opening your booster packs:
- Charizard: Focus on acquiring versatile, high-impact cards applicable to multiple decks.
- Mewtwo: Excellent for constructing a powerful Psychic deck featuring Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
- Pikachu: While currently a meta deck, Pikachu Ex's dominance is anticipated to be short-lived due to the introduction of Promo Mankey. The cards within this pack are considered too specialized.
Although completing secret missions requires opening all three packs eventually, prioritizing the Charizard pack first allows you to acquire essential and adaptable cards. You can then strategically use Pack Points to fill any gaps in your collection.
