The Mega Pidgeot ex Drop Event ran from November 18, 2025 to November 28, 2025.

This event allows players to participate in solo AI battles featuring the Mega Pidgeot 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

Mega Pidgeot ex Froakie

The best card to get would be Mega Pidgeot ex. Its Giant Twister attack can discard the Energy of your opponent's Pokemon, making it good against Pokemon with high Attack Costs. If you have trouble pulling it, it may be good to get it in the Event Card Shop.

You may also want to pull Froakie. It has a different move compared to other available Froakie cards, which allows it to inflict Paralysis.

Mega Pidgeot ex Deck (Mega Rising) 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 Fast Lightning-Types

You may use Lightning-type attackers such as Tapu Koko ex and Zeraora. If you are facing Mega Pidgeot ex, you may use Pom-Pom Oricorio to nullify any damage you might take.

These Pokemon either have low Attack Costs or can generate Energy, which means that they can quickly recover if they are hit by Giant Twister.

KO Pidgey and Pidgeotto Early

You may KO Pidgey and Pidgeotto early to avoid facing Mega Pidgeot ex. If they are Benched, you may put them in the Active Spot using Sabrina or Cyrus.

Use Healing Cards

Mega Pidgeot ex does not deal much damage, so bulkier Pokemon will likely survive at least two attacks. You may improve the survivability of your deck by adding cards that can heal, making your Pokemon stay out of KO range for longer.
