The Zoroark Drop Event will run from September 3, 2025 to September 13, 2025.
This event allows players to participate in solo AI battles featuring the Zoroark 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 Zoroark card along with other promo cards from Promo-A Vol. 12 as a Zoroark 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!

Tropius and Zoroark are the best cards to draw from the Zoroark Drop Event.
Tropius' Double Smash has a low energy cost, but with a successful coin flip, it can do a devastating 80 damage. This makes it a viable card for early game match-ups. This move also cannot be found in its regular pack counterpart.
Zoroark's Illustrous Trickery can prevent damage from being inflicted upon Zoroark after defeating a Pokemon. This can be a gamechanger for tight matches, allowing you to clutch out a victory even with low HP.
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.
Heal or Increase Your HP
Healing or increasing your HP can allow you to mitigate additional damage. This will help you avoid falling into Zoroark's KO range.
KO Zorua Before It Evolves
You may prevent Zoroark from using its Ability by knocking it out before it evolves. Sabrina and Cyrus can draw it out to the Active Spot. You can also use cards that can damage Benched Pokemon such as Genetic Apex Hitmonlee.
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!
