Pokemon TCG Pocket Conspiracy Theories Debunked
Pokemon TCG players debunk a popular theory about how to make the best cards from the new Pocket mobile game that's taking the fandom by storm.
Players have ways to obtain additional Pack Hourglasses to speed up pack openings, which can be seen in the new Pokemon TCG Pocket Event. The Genetic Apex Emblem event focuses on player-to-player battles, and depending on the number of wins achieved, they can earn an emblem to display on their profile. There are also two types of event quests, with one providing Pack Hourglasses simply for participating in battles and the other providing Shinedust for winning matches.
A new Pokémon TCG Pocket PvP event has begun
The Genetic Apex Emblem event will run until November 28, giving players plenty of time to earn rewards. However, the event comes shortly after many players expressed frustrations with PvP Pokemon TCG Pocketnotes that matches are dominated by meta decks and requests a ranked mode. The Genetic Apex Emblem event does not appear to have a skill-based matchmaking system, so match quality can vary greatly.
Players who want to participate in the PvP event but still need to create a notable deck can try the ongoing Lapras event. This event pits the player against the CPU and offers a promotional pack as a reward for certain victories. The package may contain a Lapras EX card for use in a Pokemon TCG Pocket deck, which is more than enough to start building a setup that can take on opponents in the Genetic Apex Emblem event. It's worth noting that the PvP event grants Pack Hourglasses just for participating, and the rewards for winning are purely cosmetic. Even players without a powerful deck can enjoy the event until the end of the month.
There are currently three events in progress Pokemon TCG Pocket: The Wonder Pick Event, Lapras EX Drop Event and Genetic Apex Emblem. These limited-time activities give players an extra incentive to log into the game instead of waiting 12 hours to open a new pack.
