The Venusaur Drop Event ran from November 29, 2024 to December 13, 2024.

This event allowed players to participate in solo AI battles featuring the Venusaur 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

Onix Jigglypuff -

You can also get a Promo Venusaur card along with other promo cards from Promo-A Vol. 2 as a Venusaur 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.

Venusaur & Scyther 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 Moltres ex to Farm Random Rewards

Card Name Details
Moltres ex
(A1 047)
HP: 140

Inferno Dance Fire

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 Fire Colorless 2
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

Pokemon TCG Pocket - Frosmoth Deck

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

Pokemon TCG Pocket - Blaine

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.

Blaine Deck Strategy Guide 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!
