The Lapras ex Drop Event ran from November 5, 2024 to November 18, 2024.

This event allowed players to participate in solo AI battles featuring the Lapras ex card, along with receiving useful rewards by completing battle-related missions.

Use Event Stamina to Participate in the Event

To participate in solo battles, you will need to use Event Stamina. Event Stamina is consumed for each win, meaning that losing won’t affect your stamina in this mode.

Additionally, you can replenish Event Stamina with Event Hourglasses, which you can earn as rewards from the beginner and intermediate solo battles, or Poke Gold.

How to Get the Event Hourglass

You can also get a Promo Lapras ex card along with other promo cards from Promo-A Vol. 1 as a Lapras ex Drop Event reward.

You have a chance to get this pack whenever you complete a match against the AI, but expert battles are guaranteed to reward you with this pack, so it is a good idea to farm these matches to collect all the cards!

Additionally, there have not been any reruns of promo cards so far. There is a chance that these cards will no longer be available to get once the event period is over.

Starmie ex & Lapras ex Deck (Event) Solo Battle Guide

In Event Solo Battles, you can battle against different decks that scale on difficulty. Once you have defeated a deck, the next deck will be unlocked containing harder cards than the last.

There are only 4 levels of Solo Battle: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert—with Expert giving you a guaranteed card pack pull from the event.

Use Pikachu ex to Farm Random Rewards

Card Name Details
Pokemon TCG Pocket - A1 096 Pikachu ex
Pikachu ex
(A1 096) 		HP: 120
Lightning Lightning
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.

Pikachu ex Deck Strategy Guide and Card List

Use Raichu and 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.

Best Raichu Decks and Card List

Losing Does Not Consume Stamina

Losing or conceding during the event battles does not consume Event Stamina, as it is only used up whenever you win a match.

This means that if you lose against your AI opponent or fail to complete one of the missions you are trying to complete, you can always try again without worrying about your stamina!
