Lapras ex Drop Event Strategy Guide

Use Pikachu ex to Farm Random Rewards

Card Name Details
Pikachu ex
(A1 096)
HP: 120

Circle Circuit Lightning 2
30x
This attack does 30 damage for each of your Benched Lightning Pokemon.

Pikachu ex is one of the best cards to use during this event. You only need a few turns to set it up in your field before it can deal a lot of damage to quickly run through the enemy AI's cards.

You can then take advantage of this quick setup to easily complete matches as fast as possible and farm for random rewards.

Do note that the most common Pikachu ex card you can use has a rarity of 4◇, so you will not be able to use it if you are attempting to complete missions that have rarity limitations.

Use Lt. Surge Deck for Rarity-Limited Missions

Pokemon TGC Pocket - Lt. Surge Deck Deck Build and How to Play

For the Advanced and Expert missions which require you to use a deck with only 1◇, 2◇, and 3◇ rarity cards, you can use the Lt. Surge deck, which centralizes on Raichu, to complete these missions.

You can replace the Pikachu ex card with Voltorb and Electrode who can also take on offensive roles.
