The Charcadet Drop Event will run from March 11, 2026 to March 21, 2026.
This event allows players to participate in solo AI battles featuring the Charcadet 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

The Smoliv card in this pack is a unique card. This means that it has different moves from other Smoliv cards that are available in the game. You may want to pull for this in order to try different ways of playing.
The highlight card, Charcadet, may also be good to pull. It is the only card in the set that has a full illustration. Collectors may want this to display on their boards and binders.
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 Fast Water-Type Pokemon
Use Water Pokemon that can attack quickly to counter Armarouge ex. Having the weakness damage bonus can cancel out most of Armarouge ex's ability, and if you catch them quick enough, you may be able to defeat them before Charcadet can even evolve.
One of the best Water counter Pokemon to Armarouge ex would be Alolan Ninetales ex. Alolan Ninetales ex is not only quick to set up, its attack effect can prevent your opponent from taking Energy from the Energy Zone.
Remove Armarouge ex's Energy
Because Armarouge ex already discards 1 of its Energy after it attacks, using cards that can discard the opposing Pokemon's Energy can disrupt its set-up.
Deal Additional Damage
Armarouge ex's Ability reduces the damage that it takes from attacks. You may use cards that inflict additional damage or boost the power of your Pokemon's attacks.

Non-ex Deck
| Deck | Commentary |
|---|---|
 Silvally and Rampardos Deck Types:
|
Strengths: • Type: Null is guaranteed to be your first Basic Pokemon. • Several cards in the deck can help you quickly evolve Type:Null and the Skull Fossil to their fully evolved forms. • This deck does not require a lot of Energy. Weaknesses: • Silvally relies on using Supporter cards in order to do a lot of damage. |
| Card List | |
         |
|
Type: Null is guaranteed to be your Basic Pokemon upon starting a match, since it's the only Basic Pokemon in this deck. You should be able to evolve it quickly with the help of Gladion and Professor's Research.
Once you have Silvally on hand, it's recommended to use Supporter cards every turn in order to boost your attack's damage to 100.
Silvally isn't your only source of damage on this deck, though. Rampardos allows you to have a bulkier Pokemon in your deck that can do a lot of damage without too much setup. You can get this Pokemon in this deck by using Rare Candy on a Skull Fossil.
