The Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion introduces two distinct booster packs: Dialga and Palkia. This guide helps you decide which to prioritize.

Understanding the Pack Differences

The Space-Time Smackdown set contains 207 cards, with some exclusive to either the Dialga or Palkia packs. To determine the contents of each, locate the pack selection screen. Hover over the desired pack and select "Offering Rates" to view the complete card list and their pull probabilities.

Dialga Pack Highlights

The Dialga pack boasts several high-value EX cards, including Dialga EX, Yanmega EX, Gallade EX, and Darkrai EX. These make it attractive for players aiming to build competitive decks around these powerful Pokémon. Additionally, the Dialga pack holds exclusive Trainer cards like Dawn and Volkner, and the sought-after Bidoof.

Palkia Pack Highlights

While featuring fewer high-profile EX cards than Dialga, the Palkia pack offers Palkia EX, Lickilicky EX, Weavile EX, and Mismagius EX. This pack might be preferable for players seeking to develop unique, less meta-dependent strategies. The exclusive Trainer cards Mars and Cynthia also provide strategic options.

Which Pack Should You Choose?

The optimal choice depends on your objectives. For competitive play and access to powerful EX cards, the Dialga pack is generally recommended. However, if you prefer building unconventional decks or favor specific cards from the Palkia pack, prioritize that instead. Ultimately, strategically utilizing your Pack Hourglasses and Pack Points will allow you to complete your collection regardless of your initial choice.
