Pokémon TCG Pocket Blastoise event: All Battle Tasks and rewards

Find all tasks and rewards for Pokémon TCG Pocket's Blastoise event

The Pokémon Company

Pokémon TCG Pocket’s third battle event is finally here to ring in the new year, running from today, January 1, 2025 to January 15, 2025. Like the Blastoise and Lapras events before it, the Blastoise Drop Event has players taking on a series of increasingly difficult solo challenge battles. Much like the prior Venusaur event, players will be able to earn a full art Blastoise promo card, alongside a few new promo cards in a new promo pack that should help fill out your decks. 

Battle Events require event-specific stamina to participate in, with one gem of stamina recovering every 12 hours. Thankfully, you won’t expend any stamina if you lose the battle, and Event Hourglasses, which reduce the timer for stamina, can be earned by completing battles for the first time alongside a few other rewards. Each card battle also has a series of Battle Tasks, which upon completion give additional rewards, as well as Chance Rewards, which is how players will obtain rare promo cards.

Pokémon TCG Pocket Blastoise Drop Event: Battle Tasks and rewards

The Blastoise Drop Event offers players four solo battles to take on against a CPU, each with a specific deck of increasing difficulty from Beginner through to Expert. In addition to first-time battle rewards and chance rewards, each battle comes with a selection of tasks, such as knocking out cards with Pokémon of specific types, using cards of specific rarities, and winning within a certain amount of turns. Each of these tasks can be completed once.

To take down these Blastoise decks, consider using one of the best Pokémon TCG Pocket meta decks, the Pikachu ex deck, which can dish out huge chunks of damage very quickly.

Pokémon TCG Pocket Blastoise Drop Event: All Promo Cards

The Pokémon Company

Players who earn Promo Packs during the Blastoise Drop Event will have those cards added to the gifts menu on the home page of the app, where they can be opened one at a time to receive one card out of a pool of five. Each of these cards has an equal chance of appearing when opening a Promo Pack, so the full art Blastoise is just as likely as the Cinccino — it’s a 20% chance for each. 

Here’s the full list of cards in the Blastoise Drop Event Promo Pack:

• Snivy 
• Volcarona 
• Eevee
• Cinccino 
• Blastoise (full art) 

The Blastoise card is the obvious draw card here, with some wonderful artwork featuring a Blastoise chilling in a garage. It’s not going to make a huge splash in competitive play, as there are much better Water-type cards to play at this point, but it’s a pretty decent card nonetheless. Another interesting addition here is the Eevee card, which notably is different from the other two Eevee cards in the game. Its attack, Growl, doesn’t do any damage itself, but it does reduce the opponent’s next attack against it by 20 damage, which can be very useful in the early game. 

The Snivy card here is also different, with Tackle instead of the Vine Whip of the regular Mythical Island card. This does half the damage, but it also only requires one Grass-type energy instead of a Grass energy and a Colorless energy, which may help it be slightly more viable in the early game. That said, given most Snivy players are using Pokémon TCG Pocket’s best Serperior deck now – which focuses on building up a Serperior on the bench instead of in the active spot – it probably won’t matter too much.
