Similarly to the previous three expansions, the Wisdom of Sea and Sky is divided into various packs. This means that Pokemon TCG Pocket players will have to choose between opening Lugia packs or Ho-Oh packs, each offering a unique selection of exclusive cards.
Initially, many players may lean towards opening one pack more than the other, but as they progress, they’ll likely find themselves opening both packs approximately equally. This guide is designed to help you decide whether to open the Ho-Oh or Lugia packs first in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

When contemplating between opening Pokemon TCG Pocket Lugia or Ho-Oh packs, players should concentrate on the ex cards within each pack and assess their compatibility with the existing decks and playstyle. Many will probably conclude that Ho-Oh packs are superior to Lugia packs because Crobat ex and Umbreon ex harmonize well with some of the current cards. Although Ho-Oh ex and Lugia ex seem to be tailored for each other, Ho-Oh can still prove beneficial without Lugia. Its ability to generate three energy per turn from three colorless energy makes it versatile, particularly when combined with colorless attackers or powerful Dragon-types like Genetic Appex Dragonite.
As a dedicated gamer, I often find myself in a dilemma when choosing between opening Lugia or Ho-Oh card packs first. To make an informed decision, I like to compile a list of the cards I covet most, arranging them in order of preference. Additionally, it’s useful to keep track of how many rare cards from each pack I’ve already obtained, as this can help me determine the optimal time to switch and maximize my chances of getting those elusive prizes.
All Exclusive Cards in Lugia and Ho-Oh Packs
Each Ho-Oh and Lugia booster pack offers 105 unique cards that aren’t found anywhere else. Plus, there are an extra 31 cards that can show up in either pack. This means each pack could potentially have as many as 136 different cards. However, it’s important to note that the gold crown versions of Ho-Oh EX and Lugia EX can technically appear in both packs through the fifth slot. But in reality, they are more likely to be pulled from their specific packs. So if you’re specifically after these two cards, remember to focus your search on their respective packs.
