The Pawmot Drop Event ran from April 7, 2025 to April 17, 2025.

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

Ekans Bidoof -

You can also get a Promo Pawmot card along with other promo cards from Promo-A Vol. 6 as a Pawmot 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!

Floatzel and Ekans are the best cards to pull in the Pawmot Drop Event. Floatzel deals 70 damage if the opponent's Pokemon is damaged for only one Energy. Meanwhile, Ekans can inflict Poison on its opponent, chipping away at the opponent's health.

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.

Pawmot & Manectric 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.

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!

Pawmot Drop Event Best Decks and Counters

Use the Rampardos and Lucario Deck for 1-3 Diamond Battles

Lucario ×2 Skull Fossil ×2 Iono ×1 Red ×1
Rare Candy ×2 Guzma ×1 Lillie ×1 Poke Ball ×2
Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used
Fighting Icon

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 Rampardos Deck.

Rampardos can deal 130 damage with only one Energy, though you have to be careful of its recoil damage. It can be also powered up using Lucario to deal 20 more damage. This will allow you to knock your opponent's Pokemon out in one hit during the late game.

The deck is also made up of Fighting-types that will have a type advantage over all the Lightning Pokemon in this event.

Use the Lucario and Primeape Deck for 1-3 Diamond Battles

Lucario ×2 Sabrina ×1 Rocky Helmet ×2 Red ×1

Energy Used
Fighting Icon

Primeape from Mythical Island can do 50 for only one Energy, making it the perfect Pokemon for speeding through this event. Lucario powers it up even further with Fighting Coach, helping you achieve KOs even earlier.

The other Pokemon in the deck are also Fighting-types which all have an advantage against all the Pokemon in the event.

Best Lucario Decks and Card List

Use the Pachirisu ex Deck for Auto-Battles

Team Rocket Grunt ×2 Potion ×2 Poke Ball ×1 Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used
Lightning Icon

Pachirisu ex and 18 Trainers is recommended for auto-battling this event. Only having Pachirisu ex as the Pokemon in the deck does not allow for much errors for the CPU, and will be more likely to make optimal plays.

Additionally, Pachirisu ex can do a good 80 damage with Sparking Gadget if it has a Tool attached. This is enough damage to KO most of the Pokemon in the event.

Thanks for the guide to this event! While I don't have every card in the Pachirisu-counter, it really works wonders nonetheless. Keep up your great work!
