All decks are Water-type; a Lightning-type deck (like Pikachu EX) is highly effective. Only the Expert battle guarantees a Promo Pack.

Event Hourglasses:

Event stamina (one per battle) replenishes every 12 hours (max 5). Earned Event Hourglasses refill stamina.

Recommended Decks and Strategies:

A Pikachu EX deck is highly recommended due to Lightning-type attacks dealing bonus damage to Water-type Pokémon in the event. 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). Lapras EX has 140 HP, the Bubble Drain attack (80 damage, 20 HP heal), and a retreat cost of 3.
