How to Use Event Hourglasses

In Pokemon TCG Pocket, Event Hourglasses function similarly to the Wonder Pick stamina feature. Each battle consumes one Event stamina, which refreshes every 12 hours up to a maximum of five. Completing battles earns you Event Hourglasses, which can be used to restore your Event stamina immediately, eliminating the need to wait.

Best Decks and Strategies

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

  • Pikachu Ex x2
  • Zapdos Ex x2
  • Voltorb x2
  • Electrode x2
  • Blitzle x2
  • Zebstrika x2
  • Giovanni x2
  • Sabrina x2
  • X Speed x2
  • Professor’s Research x2

This deck leverages the fact that all Pokemon in the Lapras Ex decks are weak to Lightning attacks, receiving an additional 20 damage. For those aiming to complete challenges with less rare cards, consider substituting Ex cards with options like Helioptile and Heliolisk, or the Magnemite and Magneton line.

All Promo Pack Rewards

During the Lapras Ex drop event, you can farm Promo Packs, each containing one card. Here are the potential cards you might pull:

  • Mankey
  • Pikachu
  • Clefairy
  • Butterfree
  • Lapras Ex

The first four cards are existing variants, while the Promo Packs offer new versions. Lapras Ex, a new addition, boasts the following stats:

  • 140 HP
  • Bubble Drain (2 Water Energy, 1 Colorless Energy): Deals 80 damage, heals 20 damage on this Pokemon.
  • 3 Retreat Cost
