Mega Latios ex Drop Event now available in Pokémon TCG Pocket — Participate in and win Solo Battles to acquire new Promo-B cards

A Mega Latios ex Drop Event has now commenced in Pokémon TCG Pocket, running through to January 26th at 9:59pm (PST), offering players the opportunity to challenge a series of special solo battles to attempt to obtain promo card packs and other rewards.

As with past Drop Events, on completing each event battle players will have a chance at acquiring one or more of the following chance rewards:

• Promo Pack B Series Vol. 3 ×1
• Shinedust ×25
• Shop Ticket ×1

Each Promo Pack B Series Vol. 1 contains a single card, selected at random from the following five cards from the Promo-B promotional set:

• Charmeleon (Promo-B 20)
• Onix (Promo-B 21)
• Hawlucha (Promo-B 22)
• Genesect (Promo-A 23)
• Mega Latios ex (Promo-B 24)

Charmeleon and Genesect are identical mechanically to the cards of the same names from the Crimson Blaze expansion, differing only in their card art and set number. Onix, Hawlucha, and Mega Latios ex meanwhile are completely original cards.

As a first for this latest Drop Event, a selection of special Missions will also be available offering additional fixed rewards:

• Participate in 10 battles: Promo Card Exchange Ticket (Mega Latios ex Drop Event)
• Participate in 1 battle: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 3 ×1
• Participate in 3 battles: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 3 ×1
• Participate in 5 battles: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 3 ×1
• Participate in 10 battles: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 3 ×1
• Participate in 15 battles: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 3 ×1

As the name suggests, the Promo Card Exchange Ticket (Mega Latios ex Drop Event) can be used in the in-game shop to acquire any one Promo Card from this Drop Event, which should ensure most players are able to acquire at least one copy of every single card. Please note that these missions do not require the player to actually participate in event Solo Battles, and can be completed by challenging Step-up Battles, or indeed any other battle.

To challenge event battles, players will need to use event stamina. All players will start with 5 event stamina when they first log-in to begin the event. Event stamina can be recovered over time, regenerating at a rate of 1 stamina every 12 hours, or by using event hourglass items. These event hourglasses can be acquired by completing battle tasks for each of the event battles. Event hourglasses earned in previous drop events can continue to be used in this event.
