Which Booster Packs Should You Prioritize?

The Charizard pack is undoubtedly the best starting point. It offers a strong foundation for a high-damage Fire-type deck centered around Charizard Ex. Beyond Charizard, this pack includes Sabrina, a top-tier Supporter card vital for many deck builds. Additional powerful cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja, along with Erika and Blaine (crucial for Fire and Grass decks), further enhance its value.

Optimal Booster Pack Opening Order

Here's the recommended booster pack opening order:

1. Charizard: Focus on acquiring the versatile and essential cards within this pack. Sabrina alone makes this pack a priority.

2. Mewtwo: This pack excels for building a Psychic-type deck featuring Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.

3. Pikachu: While Pikachu Ex currently dominates the meta, its cards are less versatile and its meta dominance is likely short-lived due to the release of Promo Mankey. Therefore, it should be opened last.

While completing all three packs is necessary for secret missions, prioritizing the Charizard pack first allows you to acquire key, widely useful cards. Use any remaining Pack Points to fill gaps in your collection after maximizing the Charizard pack's potential.
