Dates

Cards obtainable in this event

Drop events let you obtain promo cards by doing solo battles in Pokémon TCG Pocket. You can solo battle against four different Grass decks of increasing difficulty.

• Each time you win you have between a 51% and 100% chance of getting a ‘Promo Pack A Series Vol. 3′.
• It will come with one of the five promo cards shown below, and the pack can be claimed from the ‘Gifts’ menu on the home screen.

The Blastoise card depicts a full-art version of the existing Blastoise card from the Genetic Apex set. The Volcarona and Cinccino are alternate art reprints, while Snivy and Eevee are new cards with new attacks. All of them have stamps to mark them as promo cards.

Item Rewards

There are a variety of rewards available for each difficulty level, including XP, Hourglasses, Shinedust, and more.

• Hourglasses can be used to decrease the timers on your pack openings.
• Shinedust can be used to add Flair to your Pokémon, which is a cosmetic change only.
• When you have enough copies of a specific card you can trade copies of it along with Shinedust in order to obtain a Sparkles: Gold Flair which can then be used on the remaining copies of the same card.
• Once you have unlocked Sparkles: Gold Flair you can then continue to unlock further more expensive Flair.
• Typically you obtain Shinedust by getting duplicate copies of cards.
