Pokemon TCG Pocket Lapras Ex Complete Event Guide

The Pokémon TCG Pocket Lapras EX Drop Event: A Comprehensive Guide

Pokémon TCG Pocket constantly expands its card roster, and the Lapras EX drop event is no exception, introducing new card variants and the highly sought-after Lapras EX. This guide covers everything you need to know about this event.

Event Dates:

The Lapras EX drop event runs from November 5th to November 18th, 12:59 a.m. Eastern Time. During this period, players can participate in special battles to acquire new cards and the Lapras EX. Additional rewards include Pack Hourglasses, allowing access to more booster packs.

How to Participate:

1. Ensure your Pokémon TCG Pocket app is updated to the latest version.
2. Navigate to the Battles tab and select Solo.
3. Choose the "Lapras EX Drop Event" category.

Four AI battles await, each using a different Lapras EX deck. First-clear rewards are granted for each battle, with additional chance rewards available through repeated battles.

Decks and Challenges:

The event features four battles of increasing difficulty (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert), each with unique decks and challenges. Rewards include Pack Hourglasses, Shinedust, Shop Tickets, and XP. The table below details each battle's deck composition, challenges, and rewards. Note that while Promo Packs are a chance reward in all battles, only the Expert battle guarantees one.

All decks are Water-type, making a Lightning-type deck (like the meta Pikachu EX deck) highly effective.

Event Hourglasses:

Each battle consumes one Event stamina point, replenishing every 12 hours (up to a maximum of five). Event Hourglasses refill stamina.

Recommended Decks and Strategies:

A Pikachu EX deck is highly recommended due to the increased damage against Water-type Pokémon. Consider using Helioptile/Heliolisk or Magnemite/Magneton lines for less rare card challenge completion.

Promo Pack Rewards:

Promo Packs contain one card each: Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, Butterfree, and Lapras EX (a new card variant). Lapras EX has 140 HP, the attack "Bubble Drain" (80 damage, 20 HP heal), and a retreat cost of 3.
