Pack Choice Unveiled: Prioritize Dialga or Palkia in Pokémon TCG Pocket

The Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown booster packs have arrived, introducing a new card influx and meta shakeup. Unlike the Mythical Island release, players must choose between Dialga and Palkia packs.

Determining Pack Contents

The Space-Time Smackdown set offers two distinct packs: one featuring Dialga, the other Palkia. Each pack contains a slightly different card pool. To view the specific cards and their pull rates for each pack, hover over the desired pack on the booster pack selection screen and select "Offering Rates." This will display a complete list of included cards and their probabilities.

Dialga vs. Palkia: Which Pack to Prioritize?

The optimal pack choice depends on your objectives. Focus on the pack containing your favorite Pokémon, or prioritize packs with meta-defining cards for competitive play.

Dialga Pack Highlights:

The Dialga pack boasts several powerful EX cards, including Dialga EX, Yanmega EX, Gallade EX, and Darkrai EX. It also features exclusive Illustration Rares and Trainer cards like Dawn and Volkner. Bidoof is another Dialga pack exclusive.

Palkia Pack Highlights:

Palkia EX

The Palkia pack features Palkia EX, along with Lickilicky EX, Weavile EX, and Mismagius EX. While potentially less meta-dominant than the Dialga pack, it offers unique deck-building opportunities and exclusive Supporter cards, Mars and Cynthia.

Final Recommendation

The Dialga pack is generally considered the more competitive option due to its high-power EX cards. However, the Palkia pack provides strong Supporter cards and unique deck-building potential. Ultimately, prioritize the pack containing your most sought-after cards. Save Pack Hourglasses and Pack Points to acquire cards from the other pack later.

Pokémon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
