Remember, while all levels offer Promo Packs as chance rewards, only the Expert level guarantees them. Given the Water-based nature of these decks, consider using a meta Pikachu Ex deck to dominate these battles.

How to Use Event Hourglasses

Event Hourglasses serve as your event stamina in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. Each battle consumes one Event stamina, which refreshes every 12 hours up to a maximum of five. Earn Event Hourglasses through battles to replenish your stamina and keep the momentum going without waiting.

Best Decks and Strategies

For optimal performance in the Lapras Ex event, the Pikachu Ex deck is your best ally. Here's the recommended deck list:

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

The Lightning-type advantage over the Lapras Ex decks' Water-types gives you a significant edge. If you're aiming to complete challenges with less rare cards, consider alternatives like Helioptile and Heliolisk, or the Magnemite and Magneton line.
