What is the best booster pack to open in Pokemon TCG Pocket?

Since Pokemon TCG Pocket is still fairly new, we only have three booster pack types to open at the time, but which one of them has the best stuff? Is it the Pikachu pack, the Mewtwo pack, or the Charizard pack?

We’ll explain which the best one is below and why that is.

Best booster pack in Pokemon TCG Pocket (TCGP)

In short, the best booster pack of the three to open most in Pokemon TCG Pocket is the Mewtwo Genetic Apex one. It contains some of the strongest cards that are exceptionally strong when battling other opponents online.

However, if you are a player just starting fresh, it’s best to start with the Charizard packs. These packs provide an easier transition from the start to the earlier late-game Solo Battles. 

Once you can start beating the Advanced level of the Solo battles, you should then start buying the Mewtwo packs. You can create some fairly strong Psychic decks that include Gengar EX, Gardevoir, and of course, Mewtwo. 

You also have other hard hitters for their own damage types like Venusaur EX with grass decks which will go exceptionally well with Exeggutor EX if you had pulled that from the Charizard packs. 

We also can’t forget Articuno with water decks. It’s a menace and can soften up fully benched decks, especially when paired with a decent Misty roll. 

Is the Pikachu pack worth it at all?

Just because the Mewtwo pack has many heavy hitters doesn’t mean you should write off the Pikachu pack entirely. 

Those packs do have Pikachu EX and Zapdos EX which are excellent sweepers. It’s just that the other two decks provide more diversity than just a few super-rare electric Pokemon. It’ll be important to have more decks of different types so that you won’t easily be countered every time you battle someone online.
