Pokémon TCG Pocket: Lapras ex Drop Event Guide
Pokémon TCG Pocket’s first big event is here, adding a handful of new exclusive promo cards, rewards, and ways to battle in the Lapras ex Drop Event.
Running from Nov. 5 to 18, the Lapras ex Drop Event is Pokémon TCG Pocket’s first major activation, adding five new promo cards to collect via an Event Promo pack that you can earn by completing new Solo Battles featuring decks made for this event. Here is a full guide to the Lapras ex event, along with how to unlock all of its new content.
Full Pokémon TCG Pocket: Lapras ex Drop Event guide
For the Lapras ex Drop Event, all Pokémon TCG Pocket players will have access to a new set of Solo Battles accessible through a new banner in that menu of the Battle tab. There are a total of four different decks to face in this event banner, each themed around Lapras with different challenges and rewards.
While it is runnin, you can clear these challenges to unlock Promo Pack A Series Vol. 1, which will net you some of the event’s exclusive Promo Cards. This is nothing like the Wonder Pick event that started on Nov. 1, though that also features new Promo Cards.
You won’t be able to run through all of the Lapras ex Drop Event at once, however, because it takes Event Stamina to compete in each battle. If you use an Event Hourglass, you can recover your Event Stamina faster, but you will have to wait at least a bit before getting everything out of this update.
