Which Pack Should I Draw?

Palkia Pack has Many Powerful ♦4 Cards

If you are having trouble deciding between the Dialga pack and the Palkia pack, the Palkia pack is recommended. Palkia pack contains many powerful cards and is also easier to build new decks.

	【♦4】Palkia ex - Can deal 30 damage with 1 energy while acting as a wall in the early battle - Can also deal 150 damage with 4 energy - "Manaphy" makes a powerful combination, available in the same pack
	【♦4】Infernape ex - It's self-contained and easy to build decks - 2 energy and 140 damage is quite powerful - Retreat cost is 0
	【♦4】Weavile ex - Medium attacker who can do 70 damage with 1 energy - Can build a powerful deck with “Darkrai ex"
	【♦2】Cyrus - Able to force opponent's damaged bench Pokemon to active spot - Although it's conditional, it is still super powerful - A general-purpose card that you should definitely have 2 copies of

When Should You Switch to Dialga Booster Pack?

In Palkia Booster Pack make sure to have at least two copies of Cyrus and Rocky Helmet. If there is no specific Pokemon you want in the Palkia Pack, start pulling the Dialga Booster Pack once you have these 2 cards.

Consider Getting 2 Weavile ex Cards

If you have 2 Weavile ex cards, you can consider switching to the Dialga Booster Pack at that point to get Darkrai ex. In that case, use Wonder Pick to get the other cards that you think you will need.

Takes Time to Build Dialga Pack Decks

Dialga Booster Pack Decks often require multiple Pokemon ex cards. Therefore, if you focus on pulling the Dialga Booster Pack, it will take more time to build new decks compared to the Palkia Booster Pack.

Which New Pack is Stronger?

Dialga Pack Best Cards

Dialga ex

Dialga ex has a powerful attack that can attach 2 Metal Energy to a Bench Pokemon. Since this can be any Pokemon, it is best to combine it with Pokemon such as Yanmega ex which is Colorless, in addition to any Metal Pokemon.

Darkrai ex

Darkrai ex has a powerful ability that can deal 20 damage to the Pokemon in the Active Spot every time Darkness Energy is attached. It is especially compatible with Weavile ex included in the Palkia Booster Pack, making it one of the top meta decks.

Dawn

Dawn can move 1 Energy from the Bench to the Active Spot. It is a highly versatile card that can be used in many decks, including the new Darkrai & Weavile deck, and many other existing decks.

Palkia Pack Best Cards

Weavile ex

Weavile ex has an excellent attack that can do up to 70 damage with 1 energy. Many cards work well such as Spiritomb and Rocky Helmet, and especially works well with Darkrai ex which is one of the meta decks.

Infernape ex

Infernape ex has an attack with 2 energy and 140 damage which is very cost-effective. Although there is a disadvantage of discarding all Energy, it is also possible to cover for it with other cards, such as Dawn.

Cyrus

Cyrus is a very powerful Supporter who can summon damaged Bench Pokemon to the Active Spot. It works well with Bench Attack cards such as Spiritomb, as well as finishing off Pokemon that retreated to the Bench.
