Diamond & Pearl's Lapras Ex: Shining in TCG Pocket

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 details 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. This involves battling AI opponents using Lapras-themed Water decks. Victory yields Promo Packs, each containing a single card. These packs offer a chance to receive Lapras EX, along with Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, and Butterfree. The drop rate for each card appears to be equal, but obtaining Lapras EX relies on luck.

Maximizing Your Chances:

• Focus on Expert Battles: While all battle difficulties offer a chance at a Promo Pack, only the Expert stage guarantees one per battle, significantly increasing your odds.
• Auto-Battle (If Possible): If you have a strong Pikachu EX deck, auto-battling the Expert stage is efficient, minimizing the time investment.
• Event Hourglasses: Completing battles earns Event Hourglasses, allowing you to replenish stamina and continue farming Promo Packs.

Event Duration:

Remember, the event concludes on November 18th. Act quickly to maximize your chances before it ends.

Future Trading Options:

If you're unsuccessful before the event's conclusion, trading functionality is planned for the game, potentially allowing you to acquire Lapras EX from other players in the future.
