Which Booster Packs to Open First?

For optimal deck building, prioritize the Charizard packs. These packs offer the best chance at acquiring powerful and versatile cards usable across various decks. The Charizard Ex card itself is a cornerstone for high-damage Fire-type decks. Crucially, these packs also contain Sabrina, currently considered the game's best Supporter card.

Beyond Charizard Ex and Sabrina, Charizard packs include valuable cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja, bolstering your strategic options. Erika and Blaine are also included, essential for Fire and Grass deck construction.

Best Booster Packs: Priority Order

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

1. Charizard: Focus on acquiring the versatile and essential cards within.
2. Mewtwo: Excellent for constructing a powerful Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
3. Pikachu: While Pikachu Ex is currently a top meta deck, its cards are more niche. The meta is likely to shift, making the Pikachu pack less valuable in the long run, especially with the introduction of Promo Mankey.

While completing secret missions requires opening all three packs, strategically starting with Charizard will provide a strong foundation. Use Pack Points to fill any gaps in your collection after prioritizing the Charizard pack.
