While the next major expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket is still in the works, smaller events and card releases will fill the gap. Here’s your guide to adding Lapras Ex to your collection in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
How to Get Lapras Ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Currently, the Lapras Ex event is active in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Take on AI-controlled opponents using special Water-themed Lapras decks and earn Promo Packs as rewards. Collecting these Promo Packs is the only method for unlocking Lapras Ex.
Remember, the event concludes on November 18, giving you limited time to complete the battles and obtain Lapras Ex.
Also, note that each Promo Pack contains a single card. You may receive one of the following:
Mankey
Pikachu
Clefairy
Butterfree
Lapras Ex
Although the odds of receiving each card seem balanced, luck remains a major factor. Some players might get Lapras Ex in their first pack, while others may need to open 20 or more. To maximize efficiency, farm the Expert stage—only this difficulty guarantees a Promo Pack per match, though all stages have a chance of dropping one.
Completing all event stages also grants Event Hourglasses. These refill your Event stamina, letting you continue farming. If you already use a Pikachu Ex deck, the Expert stage can even be auto-farmed, reducing the need for constant attention.
If you can’t get Lapras Ex before the event ends, don’t worry—trading is planned for a future game update. You may eventually swap for it with other trainers.
