Event Hourglasses:

Event stamina, consumed per battle, replenishes every 12 hours (up to five). Earned Event Hourglasses can refill this stamina.

Recommended Deck:

A Pikachu EX deck is highly effective due to the increased damage inflicted on Water-type Pokémon. A sample deck includes: Pikachu EX x2, Zapdos EX x2, Voltorb x2, Electrode x2, Blitzle x2, Zebstrika x2, Giovanni x2, Sabrina x2, X Speed x2, Professor’s Research x2. Alternatives for lower rarity challenges include Helioptile/Heliolisk or Magnemite/Magneton.

Promo Pack Rewards:

Promo Packs contain one card each: Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, Butterfree, and Lapras EX (a new variant for each). Lapras EX boasts 140 HP and the "Bubble Drain" attack (80 damage, 20 HP heal; 3 Retreat Cost).
