This new event uses Event Stamina, an exclusive stamina system available only in this event mode. Event Stamina is consumed for each win you achieve in events, 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.

Pikachu ex (A1 096) |
HP: 120 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
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.
