Secure Your Lapras EX in Pokémon TCG Pocket!
The Pokémon TCG Pocket Lapras EX event is live, offering a limited-time opportunity to add this powerful card to your collection. This guide outlines how to obtain it.
How to Get Lapras EX:
Currently, the only way to acquire Lapras EX is by participating in the in-game event battles. These battles pit you against AI opponents using Lapras-themed Water decks. Winning these battles rewards you with Promo Packs. Each Promo Pack contains a single card, with a chance of containing Lapras EX, along with Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, and Butterfree. The drop rate for each card appears equal, but obtaining Lapras EX relies on luck.
Maximizing Your Chances:
- Focus on Expert Battles: While all difficulty levels offer a chance at a Promo Pack, only the Expert stage guarantees one per battle, significantly increasing your chances of obtaining Lapras EX.
- Auto-Battle (if possible): If you have a strong Pikachu EX deck, you can auto-battle even the Expert stage, allowing for efficient farming without constant player input.
- Event Hourglasses: Completing all battle stages rewards you with Event Hourglasses, allowing you to replenish your stamina and continue farming Promo Packs.
- Time is Limited: Remember, the event concludes on November 18th.
What if I Miss the Event?
Don't worry if you don't get Lapras EX before the event ends. Future trading functionality will allow you to potentially acquire it from other players.
