Which Booster Packs Should You Open?

For maximum impact, prioritize the Charizard pack. It offers a significant advantage by providing access to:

• Charizard Ex: A cornerstone card for high-damage Fire-type decks.
• Sabrina: Arguably the game's best Supporter card.
• Other powerful cards: Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, Greninja, Erika, and Blaine (crucial for Fire and Grass decks).

These versatile cards are valuable assets across multiple deck types.

Booster Pack Priority

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

1. Charizard: Focus on acquiring versatile and essential cards first.
2. Mewtwo: Build a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.
3. Pikachu: While currently meta, the Pikachu Ex deck's reliance on niche cards and the potential impact of the Promo Mankey card make it a lower priority.

While completing secret missions will eventually require opening all three packs, strategically starting with Charizard ensures you acquire highly valuable and widely applicable cards. Use any remaining Pack Points to acquire any missing pieces you need to complete your preferred deck.
