Event Hourglasses:
Event stamina, consumed per battle, replenishes every 12 hours (max 5). Event Hourglasses refill stamina.
Optimal Deck Strategies:
A Pikachu EX deck is highly effective due to Lightning-type attacks dealing bonus damage against Water-type Pokémon in the event decks. Consider using 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 attack "Bubble Drain" (80 damage, 20 HP heal), and a retreat cost of 3.
