Note: While all battles offer a Promo Pack as a chance reward, only the Expert battle guarantees it. All decks are Water-type, making a Lightning-type deck advantageous.
Event Hourglasses:
Event stamina, consumed per battle, replenishes every 12 hours (up to five). Event Hourglasses refill this stamina.
Recommended Decks and Strategies:
A Pikachu EX deck is highly effective due to the increased damage inflicted on Water-type Pokémon. Consider using Helioptile/Heliolisk or Magnemite/Magneton lines for less rare card challenges.
Promo Pack Rewards:
Promo Packs contain one card each: Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, Butterfree, and Lapras EX (a new variant). Lapras EX boasts 140 HP and the Bubble Drain attack (80 damage, 20 HP heal).
