Pokémon TCG Pocket: Space-Time Smackdown - Best Cards, Full Pack List

Have you completed the Genetic Apex and Mythical Island sets in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket? No? Well, bad news for you then: the next two packs are here!

Space-Time Smackdown features Pokémon Diamond & Pearl's box art legendaries Dialga and Palkia, but don't just play favourites; which pack should you focus on ripping open first and what exactly are in each?

Head on over to our guide for the best booster packs to open first if you’re new to Pokémon Pocket or check out the best Mythical Island cards if you’re still looking for a Celebi EX or two.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket - Which Space-Time Smackdown Pack Should I Open First?

Of the Dialga and Palkia packs, which one top open comes down to whether or not you want to chase collectible cards or competitive cards. This guide deals specifically with competitive-minded trainers, so despite how awesome the Super Rare Cynthia and Immersive Palkia EX look, we highly recommend rolling Dialga packs first.

Dialga EX and Darkrai EX are the best bet for meta-staple cards, as both have abilities that work as an engine for other cards. Lucario from this pack also looks like a great addition to Fighting-type decks. Furthermore, Pokémon Communication looks to be a standout item from the set.

Recommended Dialga Pack Cards

You should aim to pull two copies of all these cards from Dialga packs:

• Dialga EX
• Darkrai EX
• Riolu
• Lucario
• Dawn
• Pokémon Communication

Recommended Palkia Pack Cards

As for Palkia Packs, you want to grab these — but only after you get those Dialga cards.

• Sneasel
• Weavile EX
• Spiritomb
• Manaphy
• Palkia EX
• Mars
• Cyrus

Weavile EX and Spiritomb finish off what looks like a great Dark type deck with Darkrai, while Manaphy and Palkia EX are great tools for Water type decks – possibly with Gyarados EX. Finally, Mars is like an upgraded Red Card while Cryus fits into decks with Spiritomb.

After you have these cards, start hunting for your favorite arts or to complete the set.
