Undoubtedly, the Charizard packs offer the best value. They significantly boost your chances of creating a top-tier Fire-type deck featuring Charizard Ex, capable of dealing massive damage. Furthermore, these packs contain Sabrina, arguably the game's best Supporter card.

Beyond Charizard Ex and Sabrina, you'll also find powerful cards like Starmie Ex, Kangaskhan, and Greninja. Erika and Blaine, vital for Fire and Grass decks respectively, are also included.

Prioritizing Your Booster Packs

Here's the recommended booster pack opening order:

1. Charizard:
2. Mewtwo:
3. Pikachu:

While the Pikachu Ex deck currently dominates the meta, prioritizing versatile cards applicable to various deck builds is more strategic. The Pikachu pack's cards are too specialized. With the Promo Mankey release, the Pikachu Ex meta dominance is likely temporary.

The Mewtwo pack provides excellent cards for a strong Psychic deck centered around Mewtwo Ex and the Gardevoir line.

However, the Charizard pack's versatile and crucial cards are the initial focus. After maximizing the Charizard pack, proceed to the Mewtwo pack or use Pack Points to acquire any missing cards. Completing all three packs is eventually necessary for secret missions, but begin with Charizard for optimal results.
