The Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion introduces two distinct booster packs: Dialga and Palkia. This guide helps you decide which to open first.
Understanding the Pack Differences
The Space-Time Smackdown set contains 207 cards, some exclusive to either the Dialga or Palkia packs. To determine the contents of each pack, locate the booster pack selection screen. Hover over the desired pack and select "Offering Rates" to view the complete card list and pull probabilities.
Dialga Pack Highlights
The Dialga pack boasts several high-value EX cards, including Dialga EX, Yanmega EX, Gallade EX, and Darkrai EX. This makes it a popular choice for competitive players aiming to build decks around these powerful Pokémon. Exclusive Trainer cards like Dawn and Volkner, and the sought-after Bidoof, further enhance its appeal.
Palkia Pack Highlights
The Palkia pack features Palkia EX as its headliner. While potentially less meta-defining than the Dialga pack, it offers Lickilicky EX, Weavile EX, and Mismagius EX, allowing for unique deck-building strategies. Exclusive Trainer cards Mars and Cynthia add further strategic depth.
Which Pack Should You Choose?
The optimal choice depends on your priorities. If you're aiming for competitive play, the Dialga pack's powerful EX cards provide a significant advantage. However, if you prefer unique deck construction or favor specific cards from the Palkia pack, that's the better option. Ultimately, prioritize the pack containing your most desired cards.
