However, getting the cards you want ultimately comes down to luck. To get EX or rarer cards, you’ll have to get extremely lucky with your pack pulls. Luckily, with Pack Points, you can mitigate this somewhat and work towards cards of your choosing. Below, we’ll take a look at everything you need to know about Pack Points.

What To Spend Your Pack Points On
When considering the scarcity of Pack Points and the extremely high cost of rare cards, you may be hesitant to spend the currency. Ultimately, how you spend your Pack Points is up to you and how you want to develop your collection, but we have some suggestions.
One of the best uses for Pack Points is tobuy cheap cards to complete a deck. One and Two-Diamond cards are cheap enough that you’re able to usually buy a few at a time, which is especially helpful for finishing out a deck.Trainer cardsorStage One Pokemoncards typically fall within this category.
To add to this, it’s an especially good idea tospend your Pack Points on cards that don’t appear in the pack type you’re focusing on. For example, if you’re only pulling from Genetic Apex - Mewtwo, then it’s a good idea to buy cards that only appear in Charizard or Pikachu packs.
On the other end of the spectrum, you cansave up your Pack Points to spend them on an expensive ex card. This will take a long time of saving, but will ensure you get an otherwise extremely difficult card to obtain.
