Pokémon TCG Pocket Lapras Ex Premiere Event Guide

The Pokémon TCG Pocket Lapras EX Drop Event: A Comprehensive Guide

Pokémon TCG Pocket constantly expands its card roster. This guide covers the Lapras EX drop event, detailing how to participate, optimal strategies, and rewards.

Event Dates:

The Lapras EX drop event runs from November 5th to November 18th, 12:59 a.m. Eastern Time. Players can battle for new card variants and the Lapras EX card. Additional rewards include Pack Hourglasses for opening more booster packs.

How to Participate:

1. Update your Pokémon TCG Pocket app.
2. Navigate to the Battles tab and select Solo.
3. Choose the "Lapras EX Drop Event" category.

Four AI battles await, each using a different Lapras-themed deck. First-clear rewards and chance rewards are available for each battle.

Decks and Challenges:

The event features four battles with varying difficulty and deck compositions. Challenges include knocking out opponents with Lightning-type Pokémon, deploying specific Pokémon types, and winning within a certain number of turns.

All battles offer a Promo Pack as a chance reward, guaranteed only in the Expert battle. All decks are Water-type, making a Lightning-type deck advantageous.

Event Hourglasses:

Event stamina is consumed per battle and replenishes every 12 hours (up to five). Event Hourglasses refill stamina instantly.

Recommended Decks and Strategies:

A Pikachu EX deck is highly effective due to Lightning-type attacks dealing bonus damage against Water-type Pokémon in the event. Consider using Helioptile/Heliolisk or Magnemite/Magneton lines for lower rarity challenge completion.

Promo Pack Rewards:

Promo Packs contain one card each: Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, Butterfree, and Lapras EX (a new variant). Lapras EX has 140 HP, the Bubble Drain attack (80 damage, 20 HP heal), and a retreat cost of 3.
