As a seasoned Pokemon Trading Card Game (PTCG) enthusiast who has been collecting and battling with these magical cards since the good old days of Base Set, I find myself thoroughly intrigued by the latest offering from the PTCG Pocket app – the Genetic Apex starter packs.
In Pokemon TCG Pocket, your initial task during the tutorial will be choosing your starting set of cards, which functions as your first deck. Although you won’t immediately use this deck, it influences the deck that you’ll receive when you progress to the Battles tutorial. To ensure you make informed decisions, here is a detailed overview of each pack:
Which Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket starter deck is best?
Each starter pack will contain five cards, including an EX Pokemon card, and will also lock you in for a full-art card during your Wonder Pick in the tutorial. Later, after you get into the Battles section, you will unlock a free deck containing the cards listed below.
Common Cards
First, all three decks have some common cards. These are:
- Farfetch’d
- Jiggypuff
- Poke Ball x 2
- Professor’s Research x 2
- Rattata x 2
- Raticate
The decks then have some unique cards to make up the rest of the starter deck.
Genetic Apex Charizard Pack (Pinsir Deck)
- Cottonee x2
- Exegute x2
- Paras x2
- Parasect x1
- Pinsir x1
- Scyther x1
- Whimsicott x1
This deck will also get you an Exeggutor EX on the initial pick, and a Charmander full-art card.
Genetic Apex Pikachu Pack (Rapidash Deck)
- Centiskorch x1
- Growlithe x2
- Heatmor x1
- Magmar x1
- Ponyta x2
- Rapidash x1
- Sizzlipede x2
This deck will also get you an Arcanine EX on the initial pick, and a Squirtle full-art card.
Genetic Apex Mewtwo Pack (Sandslash Deck)
- Cubone x2
- Hitmonchan x1
- Mienfoo x2
- Mienshao x1
- Onix x1
- Sandshrew x2
- Sandslash x1
This deck will also get you an Marowak EX on the initial pick, and a Bulbasaur full-art card.
In summary, although all decks seem quite similar at present, it’s essential to think about long-term strategies and make decisions accordingly. It appears that the Mewtwo boosters might contain some top-tier cards, but your initial choice should be guided by which of the given cards resonate with you the strongest.
I chose the Charizard collection because I appreciate the development possibilities of certain ones, and I’ve been gathering Mewtwo boosters ever since.
