The Gible Drop Event ran from March 3, 2025 to March 17, 2025.
This event allowed players to participate in solo AI battles featuring the Gible card, along with receiving useful rewards by completing battle-related missions.
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.

You can also get an Illustrated Rare Promo Gible card along with other promo cards from Promo Pack Vol. 5 as a Gible 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!
| Best Cards to Draw from the Gible Drop Event | |

Staraptor and Nosepass are the best cards to draw from the Gible Drop Event since they are very good defensive Pokemon cards and would be difficult to obtain from the Triumphant Light pack.
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.

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.
| Card Name | Details |
|---|---|
![]() (A1a 006) |
HP: 110 [Ability] Jungle Totem Each Grass Energy attached to your Grass Pokemon provides 2 Grass Energy. This effect doesn't stack. 70 |
![]() (A2a 010) |
HP: 140 [Ability] Forest Breath Once during your turn, if this Pokemon is in the Active Spot, you may take a Grass Energy from your Energy Zone and attach it to 1 of your Grass Pokemon. 70 |
You can use Leafeon ex or Serperior's ability to accelerate the energy generation of your Grass-type pokemon.
Grass-type decks are very tanky, but require a lot of energy to maneuver. Having accelerators like Leafeon ex or Serperior can help with building your decks faster.

| Card Name | Details |

HP: 90 50 Your opponent's Active Pokemon 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 Shiinotic to make opposing cards fall asleep.
It is super effective against the Gabite & Rhyperior Deck since they are all weak to grass.

One of the missions for the Advanced and Expert Solo Battles is to win using only 1-3 Diamond cards, which is perfect for the Carnivine Deck.
Carnivine can be powered up using Arceus to deal 50 damage to the opponent's pokemon with only one energy cost. In addition to the +20 Grass-type weakness damage bonus, Carnivine can hit up to 70 damage with only 1 energy. This will be effective for wiping out early game set-ups.
Carnivine Deck Strategy Guide and Card List
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!
