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.
