All decks are Water-type, making a Lightning-type deck (like a meta Pikachu EX deck) highly effective. Only the Expert battle guarantees a Promo Pack.
Event Hourglasses:
Event stamina, consumed per battle, replenishes every 12 hours (max 5). Earned Event Hourglasses can refill stamina instantly.
Optimal Deck Strategies:
A Pikachu EX deck is highly recommended due to Lightning-type attacks dealing bonus damage to Water-type Pokémon. Alternatives include Helioptile/Heliolisk or Magnemite/Magneton lines for lower rarity challenge completion.
Promo Pack Rewards:
Promo Packs contain one card each: Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, Butterfree, and Lapras EX (a new variant for each except Lapras EX). Lapras EX boasts 140 HP and the "Bubble Drain" attack (80 damage, 20 HP heal).
