Dialga Pack: Key Cards and Considerations

The Dialga pack boasts several high-impact EX cards, including Dialga EX, Yanmega EX, Gallade EX, and Darkrai EX. Players aiming to build decks around these powerful Pokémon should focus on this pack. Exclusive illustration rares and trainer cards, such as the Dawn and Volkner support cards, further enhance its appeal. Bidoof is another exclusive to this pack.

Palkia Pack: Key Cards and Considerations

The Palkia pack features Palkia EX as its namesake card. While offering fewer EX cards overall compared to the Dialga pack, it includes Lickilicky EX, Weavile EX, and Mismagius EX, potentially enabling unique deck strategies. Exclusive supporter cards, Mars and Cynthia, add further strategic depth.

Which Pack Should You Choose?

The Dialga pack is generally considered the more competitively viable option, due to its powerful EX cards. However, the Palkia pack offers strong supporter cards and the potential for innovative deck building.

The ultimate decision hinges on your personal preferences and strategic goals. Prioritize the pack containing your most desired cards. Save your Pack Hourglasses and Pack Points to complete your collection.
