The arrival of the Space-Time Smackdown booster packs in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* is set to significantly impact the game's meta. Unlike the smaller Mythical Island release, *Pokemon GO* players face a choice between two distinct pack types – Dialga packs and Palkia packs.
The Space-Time Smackdown booster set features two types of packs, distinguishable by their front images: Dialga and Palkia. Similar to the Genetic Apex set, the cards you can pull from each pack vary slightly. To view the contents and pull rates of each pack, navigate to the booster pack selection screen, hover over your chosen pack, and click on "Offering Rates" at the bottom left corner.

Choosing between Dialga and Palkia packs in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* depends on your objectives. If you're hunting for a particular Pokemon, prioritize the pack that includes it. For those aiming to stay competitive in battles, consider the cards that will boost your strategy within the game's meta. Here's what to keep in mind when making your choice:
In addition to EX cards, Dialga packs include exclusive illustration rares and trainer cards like Dawn and Volkner. Bidoof collectors will also find their favorite in these packs.
Palkia packs also contain exclusive Supporter cards like Mars and Cynthia, which might appeal to players looking for specific abilities or personal favorites.
Dialga packs are likely the more competitive choice, boasting numerous high-power EX cards that could dominate the meta. However, Palkia packs offer powerful supporter cards and the potential for crafting less conventional strategies.
Ultimately, both packs will add exciting new cards to your collection. Start with the pack containing your most coveted cards, then use your Pack Hourglasses and Pack Points to complete your collection.
And that's how you decide whether to open Dialga or Palkia packs first in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
