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 and maximize rewards.

Event Dates:

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

How to Participate:

1. Update your Pokémon TCG Pocket app to the latest version.
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 EX deck. First-clear rewards are awarded for each battle, with additional chance rewards available through repeated battles.

Decks and Challenges:

The event features four battles with varying difficulty and deck compositions. Challenges and rewards are summarized below:

All decks are Water-type; a Lightning-type deck (like the meta Pikachu EX deck) is highly effective. Only the Expert battle guarantees a Promo Pack.

Event Hourglasses:

Each battle consumes one Event stamina, replenishing every 12 hours (up to five). Event Hourglasses refill stamina.

Recommended Decks and Strategies:

The Pikachu EX deck is highly recommended due to the increased damage against Water-type Pokémon. Consider using Helioptile/Heliolisk or Magnemite/Magneton lines for less rare card challenges.

Promo Pack Rewards:

Promo Packs contain one card each: Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, Butterfree, and Lapras EX (a new variant for each except Lapras EX). Lapras EX stats: 140 HP, Bubble Drain (2 Water Energy, 1 Colorless Energy, 80 damage, 20 HP heal), 3 Retreat Cost.
