The arrival of the Space-Time Smackdown booster packs in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* is set to revolutionize the game's meta. Unlike the smaller Mythical Island release, *Pokemon GO* players now face a choice between two distinct types of packs: Dialga packs and Palkia packs. This decision can significantly impact your strategy and collection.
The Space-Time Smackdown booster set offers two different packs, each distinguished by the legendary Pokémon on its front: Dialga or Palkia. Similar to the Genetic Apex set, the cards you can pull from each pack vary slightly. To find out what's inside, navigate to the booster pack selection screen in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. At the bottom left, you'll see an "Offering Rates" section that lists the cards and their pull odds for each pack.
To check the contents of Dialga vs. Palkia packs, simply hover over the pack you're interested in and click on "Offering Rates." This will give you a detailed list of what you might find inside.

Deciding which packs to open with your Pack Hourglasses in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* depends on your specific goals. If you're chasing a particular Pokémon, prioritize the pack that includes it. Alternatively, if you're aiming to stay competitive, focus on packs with cards that are strong in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* battles. Here are some key considerations for choosing between Dialga and Palkia packs:
Additionally, certain illustration rares and trainer cards are exclusive to Dialga packs, such as the Dawn and Volkner support cards. And for Bidoof enthusiasts, this pack is your only chance to add it to your collection.
Palkia packs also feature exclusive Supporter cards like Mars and Cynthia, which could be key to your strategy if their abilities resonate with you.
Dialga packs seem to offer a more competitive edge with their array of powerful EX cards. However, Palkia packs hold their own with strong supporter cards and the potential for a less conventional strategy.
Ultimately, you'll get exciting new cards regardless of your choice. Start with the pack that contains your most coveted cards, then use your Pack Hourglasses and Pack Points to round out your collection.
And that's the rundown on whether you should open Dialga or Palkia packs first in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
