Part of the excitement of opening a new Pokémon card booster pack is seeing which rare Pokémon card is included! The Pokémon card pack trick lets you save the best for last—just open the pack, remove the code card from the back, and move the last 3 or 4 cards (depending on your set) to the front to rearrange your pack. In this article, we’ll walk you through the card pack trick so you nail it every time.

Things You Should Know

Open the foil packaging so the seam in the back faces you. Remove the code card from the back of the pack.
Turn over the pack so the reverse side of the back card faces you. Move 1, 3, or 4 cards from the back to the front (depending on the set you have).
Flip the pack over again to see your new cards. An energy card will be in front and your reverse, rare, and/or holographic cards will be last.

How to Reorder Your Pokemon Card Packs

Hold the pack so the face of the first card is toward you.Don’t worry about seeing this card ahead of time—it’s not one of the reverse, rare, or holographic cards in your pack.

Remove the QR code card from the back of the pack.Don’t look at the colored (green or white) side of the card since this can “spoil” the rarest card for you. For example, a white code card indicates the rare card will be holographic or better.^[1]

Turn over the pack and move the back 1, 3, or 4 cards to the front.The number of cards you should move depends on the pack you have:

If your pack is Scarlet & Violet (2023) or newer, move 1 card.^[2]
If your pack is Sun & Moon (2017) through Crown Zenith (2023) move 4 cards.^[3]
If your pack is Evolutions (2016) or older, move 3 cards.^{[4]XResearch so}

Examine your cards—the rarest card is now the last in the pack.Turn your pack back over so the face side of the top card is toward you. If your booster pack contains an energy card, this will be on top, followed by common and uncommon Pokémon. At the back, you’ll find reverse cards and rare and/or holographic Pokémon cards.

It’s not “required” to do the Pokémon card trick to show the rarest card last. It’s just a fun way to build anticipation and make each new booster pack exciting!

How to Open Pokemon Cards without Damaging Them

Open the package slowly and carefully if you plan on saving the foil as a collectible (and to avoid bending or tearing one of the cards inside):

Step 1: Hold the pack by the sides in one hand. Loosen the back flap from top to bottom by sliding your finger up and down underneath it.
Step 2: Hold the back flap with your pointer finger and thumb in one hand. With your other thumb, push the top seam of the foil away from the flap (or, pinch the other side of the foil with your other hand and pull the seam open).
Step 3: Push or pull until the top seam opens enough to slide one finger inside. Slide a finger inside the seam to fully open the pack from the top.
Step 4: Slide the cards out of the top. Make sure the back side of the packaging is facing you to reveal the face of the first card (the front side showing a Pokémon). This way, the color on the back of the code card won’t spoil the rare card for you.^[6]
If you don’t plan on saving the foil, feel free to tear into it however you like! Just make sure not to damage the cards inside.

Opening Pokémon cards properly can enhance the enjoyment of the experience and protect the value of your collection. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to open Pokémon cards with care and excitement:

Prepare Your Workspace:
Before you begin, ensure you have a clean and flat surface to work on. This helps prevent any accidental damage to the cards and keeps your cards free from dust or debris. It’s also a good idea to have a soft cloth or playmat to protect the cards from scratches or other potential damage during the opening process.
Handle Packs with Care:
When handling Pokémon card packs, be gentle to avoid damaging the cards inside. Hold the pack by the edges and avoid squeezing or bending it. Use scissors or a letter opener if you’re worried about tearing the pack with your hands. Make sure to cut along the top seam to avoid accidentally cutting into the cards.
Open the Pack Slowly:
After cutting or tearing the pack open, carefully slide the cards out. Avoid bending or forcefully pulling the cards from the pack. Take your time to ensure that you don’t accidentally damage any cards as you remove them. If the pack has a card trick (like moving a certain number of cards to the back for better suspense), follow it carefully to keep the excitement intact.
Inspect Each Card:
As you reveal each card, handle them by the edges rather than the surface to prevent smudges or scratches. Take a moment to appreciate each card’s artwork and rarity. For valuable cards, you might want to place them in a protective sleeve immediately to preserve their condition. This is especially important for holographic, foil, or rare cards, which can be more susceptible to damage.
Organize and Store Your Cards:
After opening the packs, organize your cards into categories such as Pokémon types, sets, or rarities. Use binders with card sleeves or storage boxes to keep your cards safe and easily accessible. Proper storage helps maintain the condition of your collection and allows you to enjoy looking through it without worrying about damage.

By following these steps, you can ensure that opening Pokémon cards is a fun and satisfying experience while keeping your collection in great condition. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the hobby, taking care during the opening process enhances both the enjoyment and value of your Pokémon cards.
