Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket It may be a digital version of physical cards, but it does many things differently than its real-world counterpart. In addition to adding fun visual extras like Flair and simplifying many of the cards, the app also introduces a big difference in GTCs booster packs.
In the real world version of Pokémon TCGboosters from any specific set contain the same cards. Even when there are different cover images for each pack, the chances of getting the cards from that set are the same, regardless of which image is on the cover. In TCG Pocket, this is not the case. Instead, each pack design in the game works similarly to how different game variations work, with each version having some Pokémon exclusive to that version.
Why Booster Packs are important in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Each TCGP Booster Pack contains a different collection of cards
There’s some debate about whether the specific booster pack players choose matters, but there’s no doubt that the cover art of each pack makes a difference. For example, at launch there was just one set, the Genetic Apex, but three booster pack designs featuring Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo. Each of these packages contains a series of cards that cannot be acquired in any of the other versions. For example, the Mewtwo pack has a chance to pull Weedle or its evolutions, while Charizard has Caterpie and its evolutionary line.
This can make it exciting to choose which TCG Pocket package to open first, since each version has the chance to buy exclusive cards. On the other hand, this can also make it difficult to decide which package to open next to have a better chance of getting something new. Fortunately, there is a way to filter the game’s cards to make it immediately apparent which cards are missing from each booster pack.
