The Cresselia ex Drop Event ran from February 3, 2025 to February 17, 2025.
This event allowed players to participate in solo AI battles featuring the Cresselia 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 Cresselia ex card along with other promo cards from Promo-A Vol. 4 as a Cresselia 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.
Open Promo Packs in Gift Menu
Whenever you receive a promo pack as a reward, you can open it in your gift list found in the upper right of the main menu.
A pack only contains one of the available promo cards, so try to get and open as many packs as you can!

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 Darkrai ex to Farm Random Rewards
| Card Name | Details |
|---|---|

HP: 140 [Ability] Nightmare Aura Whenever you attach a Darkness Energy from your Energy Zone to this Pokémon, do 20 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon. Dark Prism

Darkrai 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 Darkrai 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 Darkrai for Intermediate Mission
| Card Name | Details |
|---|---|
 (A2 109) |
HP: 110 Dark Void

Your opponent’s Active Pokémon is now Asleep. |
One of the missions from the Intermediate solo battle requires you to make an opposing Pokemon card fall asleep. You can use the regular Darkrai card to make opposing cards fall asleep.
This Darkrai card is also super-effective against Psychic-type cards, which makes it suitable against this deck.
Use Scolipede and Weezing 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 Scolipede and Weezing deck, which centralizes on Scolipede and Weezing, 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!

Why is there a calendar, a list of drops, and an explanation of how battle stamina works ALL before you even start listing the counter decks, when the article is literally titled "Best Decks to Counter?" There's a whole other guide called "Cresselia EX event guide", go put that junk in there.
