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:

Each battle consumes one Event stamina point, replenishing every 12 hours (maximum 5). Event Hourglasses refill stamina.

Recommended Decks and Strategies:

A Pikachu EX deck is highly effective due to Lightning-type attacks dealing extra damage to 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 stats: 140 HP, Bubble Drain (2 Water Energy, 1 Colorless Energy): 80 damage, heals 20 HP. 3 Retreat Cost.
