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. This two-week window is your chance to dive into special event battles, aiming to secure the highly sought-after Lapras Ex card and other unique card variants. Additionally, participants can earn Pack Hourglasses, which enhance your ability to expand your card collection through booster packs.

How to Start the Lapras Ex Event

To participate in the Lapras Ex drop event, ensure your Pokemon TCG Pocket app is up to date. Navigate to the Battles tab, select Solo, and then choose the "Lapras Ex Drop Event" category. You'll engage in four distinct battles against AI, utilizing a Lapras Ex deck. Each battle offers first clear rewards and additional chance rewards that you can pursue through repeated attempts.

All Decks and Challenges

The event features four levels of difficulty, each with its own deck composition and challenges. Below is a comprehensive overview:

Note that while all levels offer Promo Packs as chance rewards, only the Expert level guarantees them. The decks are predominantly Water-based, suggesting the use of a meta Pikachu Ex deck for an easier victory.

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.
