Which Booster Packs Should You Open First?

The Charizard pack undeniably takes the top spot. It offers not only the chance to build a high-damage Fire-type deck centered around Charizard Ex, but also provides access to Sabrina, arguably the game's best Supporter card. Beyond Charizard and Sabrina, you'll find powerful cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja. Erika and Blaine, crucial for Fire and Grass decks respectively, are also included.

Prioritizing Your Booster Packs

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

1. Charizard: This pack provides the most versatile and essential cards for building multiple strong decks.

2. Mewtwo: A solid choice for building a Psychic-type deck focused on Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line, key components for this deck strategy.

3. Pikachu: While the Pikachu Ex deck currently holds a top meta position, its cards are less versatile and its dominance may be short-lived, especially with the introduction of Promo Mankey.

While you'll eventually need to open all three packs to complete secret missions, focusing on the Charizard pack first grants access to crucial, widely applicable cards. Use your Pack Points to acquire any missing cards afterwards. This strategic approach maximizes your early-game power and deck-building options.
