Charizard Pack |
Some of the best cards in the Charizard Booster Pack include powerful ex cards such as Charizard ex, Exeggutor ex, Moltres ex, and Starmie ex. These cards also have rarer versions that the player may want to collect.
This pack also has good Pokemon cards that can act as secondary damage-dealers. This includes Ninetales and Greninja for decks of their respective types, and Kangaskhan, who can fit in a variety of decks because of its Colorless type.
It may also be helpful to pull for Sabrina, who is a versatile Supporter Card that can work in a variety of decks. However, the other Supporter Cards in this deck, Erika and Blaine, are also good for players who like playing specific monotype decks.

For the booster's Trainer Cards, Giovanni can be great to pull for as he can provide extra damage output to any deck. Koga might also be good to pull for the useful support he provides to some Darkness-type decks.
