Lapras EX marks a historic moment for Pokemon TCG Pocket, as it introduces the game’s first-ever event, offering players a chance to collect rare cards and engage in exciting themed battles.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is a mobile game that allows players to collect, trade, and battle with Pokemon cards. It offers a condensed digital experience of the classic trading card game, featuring real-time PvP battles, card packs, and a variety of game modes.
The game has since become a global smash hit, and continues to keep its players engaged with its first ever in-game event.
The Lapras EX Drop event brings with it the new Lapras promo card, additional collectable promo cards, and various rewards for beating its limited-time challenges.
In this ONE Esports guide, we explain the best and quickest way to get the new Lapras EX card in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
How to get Lapras EX card
To claim the new Lapras EX cards, you’ll need to beat the new limited-time Solo Battle events and get lucky with the Promo Pack A Series Vol. 1.
Just like the solo step-up battles, the Lapras EX drop event also features four difficulty levels which is progressively unlocked by beating the previous level. Beating any one of these four levels will grant players a chance to receive a special Promo Pack A Series Vol. 1.
The chance to get a Promo Pack A Series Vol. 1 increases depending on the difficulty of the event solo battle. The odds to win the Promo Pack is as follows:
- Beginner – 51% chance
- Intermediate – 64% chance
- Advanced – 80% chance
- Expert – 100% chance
With these odds in mind, the Expert level is the ideal level to farm if you want a guaranteed chance at an event pack every single time.
Given the event’s exclusive focus on water decks, bringing an electric deck is the optimal strategy to capitalize on the type advantage bonus. Alternatively, any deck that is neutral (not fire) can also work.
Keep in mind that beating a solo event battle will consume event stamina, which recharges over time upon use. Players can store up to five event stamina which they can use at any time during the event period.
Losing a solo event battle does not consume event stamina so feel free to repeat any of the solo event battles until you win!
Once you get your hands on the Promo Pack A Series Vol. 1, you’ll need some luck on your side if you want the new Lapras card. Each promo pack contains one random card upon opening. This means you have a one-in-five chance of getting the coveted Lapras promo card.
This promo pack contains:
- Butterfree
- Pikachu
- Clefairy
- Mankey
- Lapras EX
The Lapras event ends on November 17, 9:59 p.m. PST (Pacific Standard Time), so pull out your best electric deck and get battling!
