While you don’t lose energy for losses, you DO lose rental deck uses for losses. Just a heads up for fresh f2p players that don’t have the right cards to build their own deck yet
I like this event a lot. The promo cards are viable in decks and are not actually useless. Collection wise, I like the art as well. It also incentivizes battling so I hope they make more of these events and make them often.
My build cleared the last battle pretty easy and the auto battler deals with it just fine, just chucked the auto battler at it whilst watching some UA-cam and got about 7 packs with 2 lapras. If anyone wants it, it's pretty simple: 2x Blitzle 2x Zebstrika 2x Helioptile 2x Heliolisk 2x Potion 2x Pokè Ball 2x X Speed 2x Professors Research 2x Giovanni 2x Sabrina Pretty easy cards to get, most of the items are in the store and cheap and the Pokemon aren't all that rare and should be cheap to craft with pack points if needed Definitely not the best build but it works great for me :D
How? the only difference with my deck is that i have Electabuzz instead of one of the two Sabrinas, and neither me or the auto battle can get anywhere near winning the pro battle.
I've almost exclusively pulled on charizard and mewtwo so far, so the master level difficulty is a bit inconsistent for me. I'm very glad losses don't substract from your event stamina.
If anyone is struggling with this challenge and haven't opened Pikachu packs for good electric Pokemon, Exeggutor is an all-star here. I did some grinding with an Eggy + Greninja no-rares deck. If you opened Mewtwo, Venusaur is very strong here too.
@@Zakading if that ends up being the case with you all I can say is you aren't praying to RNGesus hard enough lol on my alt I have pulled 4x Lapras EX already and I've only refilled my Event Stamina 1 time 😅
If you don’t complete missions in one go on the ealier levels, you can go again, complete them and lose. It will count even if you lose, except the mission that requires you to win by a certain round for obvious reasons
My first pack after beating the expert level one gave me lapras ex. I actually thought it was only lapras ex as well but then my 2nd pack gave me a clefairy 😂
Opened 11 packs, got 7 Mankeys and 4 Butterfrees. No better way to show me why I will never spend a cent on a TCG. Say what you want about gachas, but you always get what you want if you are disciplined in those.
I’ve opened 15 packs and i’ve gotten a healthy mix of everything. I think I literally have 3 of 3 of them, including lapras, then i have 2 mankeys and 4 clefairys. you just got bad luck
@@allenlin3050they are in the sense gachas give free pulls. there’s no free packs in real life unless you win tournaments. There’s also pity pulls. Again not something in real life. The benefit of tcg is you keep the physical cards. While a gacha could have EOS
It's awesome they're ALREADY doing events like this, it looks like it will be a constant thing and of the leaks are correct and the next one is a venusaur outbreak I'll be the happiest ever, venusaur EX was my second chase card and it's the only EX I'm missing in the mewtwo pack (and the Bulbasaur line + grass cards as a whole)
I did the whole thing in a like 2 hours, got myself all the promos twice and EX lapras once. It was fun and I'll keep playing each time the cooldowns are reduced to go for that second Lapras or just the other cards for the bonus shine dust. Make sure to get the rewards for the first 2 levels on your first try to not waste attempts, and only do the final level to get the booster packs, it's guaranteed and also you never waste energy when you loose. My recommendation is to destroy the starmie in the first turns if you can, afterwars its quite easy. I used 1 elektross, 1 pinurchin and 2 helioptiles (later on i added my zapdos ex). Also run Giovanni's and Sabrinas if you can, you can catch a lot of turn one or quick wins with them. Potions and X Speeds can also be very helpful. If not those cards, make sure to have some tanky cards as well, other wise the starmie and even golduck destroy you
two questions: 9:52 you say the odds for the booster pack increase. did you just mean the 51, 64, 80, 100 percent for the different fights or does it increase with the number of battles you won in this event? is there any info on whether or not the event hourglasses are kept or lost between events? just for the consideration if we want to keep some of these (in case we got everything we wanted) or spend them (because they'll be lost otherwise)
My 1st pack had Lapras in it, but I'm 15+ packs in and still haven't gotten my 2nd copy. I might finish the 20 Expert battle victories before I get it... 😬😞😩
I opened Mewtwo packs till I could build Mewtwo ex then started opening Charizard packs. At first I was concerned about this event but the wigglytuff ex rental deck was good enough for the first two stages. After that I resorted to pack points to grab a lt surge, then cleaned up the other two stages with his rental deck. Now that the relevant side missions are done I can just smash the expert with Mewtwo ex for easy promos. Great video, lots of good tips for the event. Keep up the good work.
I got all the cards I want, but I kinda want to get more lapris cards but idk if I should use my event stamina hourglasses now or save them for the next event. Does it carry over to future events??
for recharging the event stamina. Is that resource event specific or does it carry over to the next event? Curious if i should be spending all of the recharge or not.
I didn’t have many electric type Pokémon at all so getting the extra event hourglasses would basically be impossible if I didn’t use a trick I would just add an electric card to my dragonite deck and then focus on getting that Pokemon a kill After I got one kill I just conceded and repeated until I was done and then switched to my mewtwo deck and easily beat them
For getting the expert beat with 3 diamond or less here is a deck I made that with the right situation can easily get the win Magnemite x2 Magneton x2 Eevee x2 Jolteon x2 Potion x2 Xspeed x2 Pokeball x2 Professor research x2 Sabrina x2 For the last two cards there is the option of 1 red card/ 1 hand scope, or you could go with 2x Giovanni
That Mankey is really cool, but you only have 80 health after you evolve into primape (if you attack of course) so it’s not like it’s going to be broken. But this could def sweep a team in the first few turns if the cards are in your favor. You also basically have to start with a Mankey to really get the most out of it.
I got a good amount of packs by beating the first battle. still no lapras ex. so I was wondering if the odds are higher if I got the pack from the hardest battle
I came up with a deck based on Pincurchin and Jolteon, with Heliolisk and Zebstrika as backup. It's fairly RNG heavy due to needing flips from Pincurchin, Jolteon and Heliolisk, but it's fine until I can get better cards.
I played the intermediate one with a deck I made and got smacked by Seaking who got heads every time. 😳 I opened a bunch of Pikachu packs and eventually got Pikachu ex and Zapdos which made it much easier. 👍🏻 I very quickly figured out that losses don’t use event stamina which is very nice since it’s a limited time event. 👍🏻
I've gotten my 2 Lapras ex in about 15 - 20 packs or so along with at least 1 of every other card. I simply kept battling the game on expert since expert difficulty gives u a promo pack every single time u win.
How do we get the Meowth Coin and Deck Skin?? They are totally teasing it, I’m hoping they can be bought with those blue tickets still cuz I have a bunch now with nothing to use them on lol
Yo spraguel love your content. Wanted to also share that i went through all 20 battles and got 17 packs out of it and got not a single lapras. Lol i was fuming.
Already got my 2 so I’m good I’ll farm up whatever runs I can stress free now and I’ll hopefully get some to trade down the line even though I don’t think trading will be any good I feel like they won’t let certain stuff be traded and probably same rarity’s only🙄
I just got a Pikachu EX friend's a friend's wonder pick! I can't wait to take advantage of how strong his attack is to fly through this event so much easier, I was concerned that I was going to have a hard go of it but I got just the card I needed
I've so far gotten 6 mankeys, 2 pika, and 1 butterfree. Also, Starmie EX is the only threat for me, the AI loves getting that thing online immediately when you have nothing to fight it but a three energy zapdos ex or pikachu ex that'll die becuase it swaps it in half the time. Hard to manage even with two x speeds, but might be my fault for only going for the pikachu pack this whole time.
for the 1/2/3 diamond task make sure not to use any 4 diamonds up (example: Pokémon ex's) or any full arts (example: full-art Charmander is 1-star) but promo trainers are okay etc.
I found this out the hard way after winning while having a full art Electrode in my deck. I really wish that full art cards didn't affect the 1/2/3 diamond challenge when you are using a pokemon that is normally 3 diamond or less but with just a different art.
I’m 12/20 battle complete on Expert. I have gotten a chance pack after every win. EVERY WIN. I have 2 or 3 copies of every new promo, Lapras came last.
I wish we could get some clear communication about if the event hourglasses will carry over into future events if unused. I don’t want to burn them if that’s the case…
This event is fun but its a real struggle trying to get strong while these cards are faster than the rental decks by a large margin just slowing collecting 2 packs every 12 hours
I don't have a pika ex deck. Started off with Char packs and got many water types, so I decided to build a water deck. My lightning types are not good that's why I'm struggling with the expert level of this event.
I could be wrong, but I think conceding a match against the Lapras CPU will retain your event stamina. I did the battle with just 1 stamina, conceded and then went back to the menu to see I still had that 1 stamina. I wonder if this is a bug, because I did finish 1 battle without getting a promo-pack. Edit: Hol up, is getting a promo pack just chance? I got one every battle minus the 1 I mentioned where I only got stardust lol.
I didn't even concede; I exited out and chose to not continue my battle-same result, didn't lose event Stamina for it. The Promo pack drop is almost guaranteed on Expert, but everywhere else, yeah, it's a % chance. First clears give you a pack too.
All my luck must have been used in the promo packs. I got 2 copies of all the promo card pretty early on, but only got duplicates in my last 10 pulls on the normal packs. 😅
I've been so unlucky with my cards that I can't make proper decks to hold my own ground above Beginner level. Which is a shame because I really want to enjoy the battle aspect of this game
One thing I'm wondering is whether you should spend all the event refreshes or if you are able to save them for future events after you already got everything from the promo packs?!
They went hard on trying to demonstrate and highlight some of the game's mechanics and what a really balanced deck looks like. Starmie and Golduck are brutal for low/mid HP. Lapras is annoying for late game by breaking damage points while dealing consistent KO damage. The others push fast damage and save you points on knockouts by not just exclusively playing EX's. Can tell they've paid a lot of attention to the damage points with these cards.
The card cover, coin and playmat the AI uses in this event isn't currently available right? Im hoping the chansey event store updates next week so i can use up all these spare event tickets ive got
Great vid thanks. Mankey is the card I'm most excited for honestly. Butterfree is one of the last 7 pokemon i need for Mew and i love the artwork on it so thatll be cool too
Played so many games on expert mode went on a crazy loosing streak. Decided to make myself feel better by playing a round on Beginner and got a pack and pulled the Lapras Ex. Can’t make this up
I got a 100% Winrate out of 8 Battles on Master difficulty with a double Venusaur ex and double Butterfree line. The deck is bulky and provides healing for days.
That's pretty feasible, I've managed to get quite far with that deck. I would recommend leading with helioptile if possible and not evolving till you have enough energy. Also, you only need a lightning deck to complete missions that requires you to knock out opposing pokemon with lightning type moves, but once you've done that for each challenge level you can use any deck you want.
@frstrspndr1478 gotcha. I'll keep that in mind too. I've never really played any Pokémon tcg before and I could use all the help I can get. Thanks everyone for the extra tips.
While you don’t lose energy for losses, you DO lose rental deck uses for losses. Just a heads up for fresh f2p players that don’t have the right cards to build their own deck yet
Yeah does get annoying
I like this event a lot. The promo cards are viable in decks and are not actually useless. Collection wise, I like the art as well. It also incentivizes battling so I hope they make more of these events and make them often.

Definitely not the best build but it works great for me :D
Went 4/5 with your trick. Works great!
@@DaVoxxii this deck helped me beat the final Ex battle and that gave me my first pack which got me a lapras EX 😂 you gave me the god luck man
Been using a similar deck too
Same for the solo missions, it gets really easy to beat opponents when you finally get all staple cards
How? the only difference with my deck is that i have Electabuzz instead of one of the two Sabrinas, and neither me or the auto battle can get anywhere near winning the pro battle.
@@davidem759this deck only has low cost aggressive attackers. Cm start dealing dmg b4 the ai gets online with their setup
I've almost exclusively pulled on charizard and mewtwo so far, so the master level difficulty is a bit inconsistent for me. I'm very glad losses don't substract from your event stamina.
Same i ended up using zebstrika and electross worked really good for me
Yeah, I'm stuck in the same place... I've been using my starmie ex and marowak ex decks
just use mewtwo and gardevoir, iirc lapras only has 140 HP so mewtwo can always one shot.
I used a zebstrika/Heliolisk/Elektross deck. Carried me quite nice till advanced
Same, I use standard mewtwo ex & gardevoir because the game handles that pretty decently on auto mode and it's fairly consistently winning
If anyone is struggling with this challenge and haven't opened Pikachu packs for good electric Pokemon, Exeggutor is an all-star here. I did some grinding with an Eggy + Greninja no-rares deck. If you opened Mewtwo, Venusaur is very strong here too.
No Greninja, No Ivysaur, No Pickachu, No Gardevoir, No Magneton. The struggle is real. I win 1 in 10 fights.

its for the different battles expert dificulty gives 100% chance so you should just grind expert.
@Fir3Fi3nd anything on the second question? It doesn't say that they will be discarded as for example it does at the Meowth event shop tickets.
Is there a point in saving the event hourglasses for the next event or do they expire?

I cant believe it. The regular non promo pulls im getting nothing but this finally lucks in my favor .
That Mankey is really cool, but you only have 80 health after you evolve into primape (if you attack of course) so it’s not like it’s going to be broken.

I got a good amount of packs by beating the first battle. still no lapras ex. so I was wondering if the odds are higher if I got the pack from the hardest battle
I got the Lapras in the second pack! I packed Articuno Ex yesterday too. Is there a good deck I can run with both? (Wish I had that Starmie Ex)

How many promo boosters do you need to open to get two Lapras ex?
I opened 20 boosters and I have one Lapras ex
One thing I'm wondering is whether you should spend all the event refreshes or if you are able to save them for future events after you already got everything from the promo packs?!
Yeah that's also what I'm wondering. I have not spent them still just in case
If they are this generous with the hour glasses I doubt it that saving these ones will make much sense for future events.
They went hard on trying to demonstrate and highlight some of the game's mechanics and what a really balanced deck looks like.
Starmie and Golduck are brutal for low/mid HP. Lapras is annoying for late game by breaking damage points while dealing consistent KO damage. The others push fast damage and save you points on knockouts by not just exclusively playing EX's.
Can tell they've paid a lot of attention to the damage points with these cards.
The card cover, coin and playmat the AI uses in this event isn't currently available right? Im hoping the chansey event store updates next week so i can use up all these spare event tickets ive got
@@ikorraks yes the part 2 of the chansey event is coming next week
I got lapras in my first 2 packs and havent seen it since lol im just happy I got 2 already, I'm just missing pikachu now
Thx for the guides
I've pulled almost nothing but Mankeys, I've already got all the flairs.
I used a golem onix Brock deck for the 1,2,3 star mission, you can one shot everyone with golem
Kinda wish it had a retreat cost of two at least. Still nice to get it for free but wish it was slightly better.
I got 2 Lapras one after the other and like two butterflies, happy to have at least the lapras
5 packs in day 1, 3 pikachu in a row, 1 mankey and 1 clefairy
got the lapras sp art from a wonder pick
Great vid thanks. Mankey is the card I'm most excited for honestly. Butterfree is one of the last 7 pokemon i need for Mew and i love the artwork on it so thatll be cool too
So it's true that higher difficulti has better chance to get promo pack. I thought it was just me.
Dang, I got a pack every single time. I didn't even realize there was a chance.
So many Lapras and Mankeys and all I wanted was Butterfree, I got 1😭
Maybe the difficulty changes the odds? Out of 3 matches I won on pro I got two Lapras
Got lapras on 1st pack 👍🏼 now is mostly mankeys 😅
I got my two copies in my first 10 packs, but a lot of my friends only have one or no copies yet. I think I just got super lucky.
Jolteon is the best card to use lots of damage low energy and easy to evolve ❤
I want those meowth sleeves!
Played so many games on expert mode went on a crazy loosing streak. Decided to make myself feel better by playing a round on Beginner and got a pack and pulled the Lapras Ex. Can’t make this up
This event is so fast lol
I opened 20 promo packs. I got :
3 Butterfree
6 Pikachu
5 Clefairy
4 Mankey
2 Lapras Ex
I feel so evil getting Lapras in 3 packs. I just had to walk away lol
I am missing butterffrees and 1 mankey, got so many clefairy i have max extra flair to them and even a sparkling pikachus and 1 sparking lapras
Have pulled nothing but copies of mankey clefary and butterfree 😭
I opened 5 packs and only got Clefairy every time I didn’t know it had other Pokémon in it wow
Got it on the first pack, hope yall get it as fast
opened almost 30 packs, all monkeys and pikachus, no lapras at all, ruined my day
I legit built an Elektross/Zebstrika deck just for this.
Mostly opening Mewtwo and Charizard pack, I only have Heliolisk for the attacker any other pokemon served as sandbag. 😂
Played Advance cause I couldn't consistently do Expert. All chances done, no Lapras yet!
I got a 100% Winrate out of 8 Battles on Master difficulty with a double Venusaur ex and double Butterfree line. The deck is bulky and provides healing for days.
My pulls: 4 butterfree, 1 lapras, 3 mankey, 8 pikas, 4 clefairy
Thanks for showing us how to navigate the event. What else can I do if I only have Heliolisk, Zebstrika, and Pinchurkin?
Pray on those coin tosses and/or snipe the Staryus while they are still on the bench with Zebstrika.
That's pretty feasible, I've managed to get quite far with that deck. I would recommend leading with helioptile if possible and not evolving till you have enough energy. Also, you only need a lightning deck to complete missions that requires you to knock out opposing pokemon with lightning type moves, but once you've done that for each challenge level you can use any deck you want.
@@SerothTalon good idea. I'll try that out.
@frstrspndr1478 gotcha. I'll keep that in mind too. I've never really played any Pokémon tcg before and I could use all the help I can get.
Thanks everyone for the extra tips.
I have the similar one too...but only can reach until advanced
