Which Booster Packs Should You Open First?
The Charizard pack undeniably takes precedence. It offers a significant advantage, providing key cards for a high-damage Fire-type deck centered around Charizard Ex. More importantly, it includes Sabrina, a top-tier Supporter card invaluable across various deck compositions.
Beyond Charizard Ex and Sabrina, the pack also contains powerful cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja. Erika and Blaine, crucial for Fire and Grass decks respectively, are also included, adding further versatility.

Here's the recommended booster pack opening order:
-
Charizard: This pack provides the most versatile and essential cards for building strong, adaptable decks.
-
Mewtwo: A solid choice for building a Psychic deck, this pack features Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line – crucial components for a competitive Psychic strategy.
-
Pikachu: While the Pikachu Ex deck currently dominates the meta, its cards are less versatile. With the upcoming Promo Mankey, the Pikachu Ex deck's meta dominance may be short-lived. Focus on acquiring versatile cards first, then use Pack Points to complete your Pikachu deck if needed.
While completing secret missions requires opening all three packs eventually, prioritizing the Charizard pack ensures you acquire a strong foundation of versatile cards. Use your Pack Points strategically to fill gaps in your preferred deck after acquiring the Charizard pack's key cards.
