While having less must-pull cards than the Mewtwo and Charizard boosters, the Pikachu Booster Pack still offers its fair share of powerful cards. In addition to being a great Lightning-type ace, Pikachu ex also has different cards that the player may want to collect. The booster also has other powerful cards to add to a Lightning deck such as Zapdos ex, Zapdos, and Raichu. The Trainer Card Lt. Surge also offers useful support for some Lightning-type cards.

For players who prefer Water-type decks, Misty is helpful for providing energy to Pokemon with high-cost, powerful moves.

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.

The Mewtwo Booster Pack offers the player many great ex cards that can act as their primary damage-dealers including Venusaur ex, Articuno ex, Mewtwo ex, and Marowak ex. These cards also have rarer versions that the player may want to collect.

There are also other Pokemon cards that may be good to pull for, such as Articuno and Dragonite, who can both function as aces. Some Pokemon cards in this pack are more useful for support, such as the Gardevoir evolutionary line to provide extra energy to the player's Psychic-type deck, and the Koffing evolutionary line to poison opponents.

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.
