Pokemon TCG Pocket Lapras Ex Drop Event Start and End Dates

The Lapras Ex drop event in Pokemon TCG Pocket is scheduled to run from November 5 to November 18, concluding at 12:59 a.m. Eastern Time. During this period, you can engage in special event battles to earn new card variants, including the much-anticipated Lapras Ex. Additionally, you can collect other rewards like Pack Hourglasses, which allow you to open more booster packs and enhance your collection. We'll delve deeper into these rewards later.

How to Start the Lapras Ex Event

To participate in the Lapras Ex drop event, ensure your Pokemon TCG Pocket app is updated to the latest version. Navigate to the Battles tab, select Solo, and then click on the "Lapras Ex Drop Event" category. You'll have the opportunity to battle against AI in four different matches using a Lapras Ex deck. Each battle offers first clear rewards and chance rewards that you can repeatedly farm.

All Decks and Challenges

The event features four levels of battles, each with unique decks and challenges. Below is a detailed overview:

Note that while all battles offer the Promo Pack as a chance reward, only the Expert battle guarantees it. Given that all decks are Water-based, using the meta Pikachu Ex deck can help you sweep these battles efficiently.

How to Use Event Hourglasses

In Pokemon TCG Pocket, Event stamina is crucial, similar to the Wonder Pick stamina feature. Each battle consumes one Event stamina, which refreshes every 12 hours up to a maximum of five. Event Hourglasses, earned through completing battles, can be used to replenish your Event stamina instantly.

Best Decks and Strategies

For optimal performance in the Lapras Ex drop event, the Pikachu Ex deck is highly recommended. Here's the deck list:

• Pikachu Ex x2
• Zapdos Ex x2
• Voltorb x2
• Electrode x2
• Blitzle x2
• Zebstrika x2
• Giovanni x2
• Sabrina x2
• X Speed x2

All Pokemon in the Lapras Ex decks are vulnerable to an extra 20 damage from Lightning attacks, giving you a significant advantage. If you're aiming to complete challenges with less rare cards, consider alternatives like Helioptile and Heliolisk, or the Magnemite and Magneton line.
