Note: All battles offer a chance at a Promo Pack, but only the Expert battle guarantees one. All decks are Water-type, making a Lightning-type deck advantageous.

Event Hourglasses:

Event stamina, consumed per battle, replenishes every 12 hours (max 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 substituting EX cards for less rare options like Helioptile/Heliolisk or Magnemite/Magneton to meet challenge requirements.

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, 1 Colorless Energy): 80 damage, heals 20 HP. 3 Retreat Cost.
