Use Event Stamina to Participate in the Event

This 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, or Poke Gold.

Use Moltres ex to Farm Random Rewards

Card Name	Details
Moltres ex (A1 047)	HP: 140 Fire Inferno Dance Flip 3 coins. Take an amount of Fire Energy from your Energy Zone equal to the number of heads and attach it to your Benched Fire Pokemon in any way you like. Heat Blast 70

Moltres 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 Moltres 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.

Moltres Deck Strategy Guide and Card List

Use Frosmoth Deck for Intermediate Mission

One of the missions from the Intermediate solo battle requires you to make an opposing Pokemon card fall asleep. You can use the Frosmoth deck and use Frosmoth to complete this mission.

This deck also does not have cards that are weak to Grass-types, despite being composed of Water-type Pokemon cards.

Frosmoth Deck Strategy Guide and Card List

Use Blaine Deck for Advanced and Expert Missions

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 Blaine deck, which centralizes on Ninetales, to complete these missions.

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!
