Wondering why you’re getting so many duplicate cards even though you’ve just started playing Pokemon TCG Pocket?
Well, it might be because, like me, you haven’t noticed the subtle differences between Genetic Apex packs – and I’m not just talking about whether they have Charizard, Mewtwo, or Pikachu on the front.
In the real Pokemon TCG, different card pack designs from a booster set are populated from the same card list. It’s not clear from the store screen, but in Pokemon TCG Pocket, although all packs come from the same Genetic Apex set, they draw from different card pools in that set. Correct, three different packaging designs have different cards inside!
This means that whether you choose Pikachu, Charizard or Mewtwo, you have a chance to draw completely different common, infrequent and even EX cards!
You will always receive three common cards in your pack as your first three cards, then the fourth and fifth cards have a different weight than the rest of the card rarities – which we will also list below.
Here are the full card lists for each of the different packs, so you can make more informed choices about your collection and deck building!
