Event Hourglass Usage:
Event stamina, consumed per battle, refreshes every 12 hours (max 5). Earned Event Hourglasses replenish this stamina.
Recommended Decks and Strategies:
A Pikachu EX deck is highly effective due to the Lapras EX decks' vulnerability to Lightning attacks. Consider using Helioptile/Heliolisk or Magnemite/Magneton lines for less rare card challenge completion.
Promo Pack Rewards:
Promo Packs contain one card each: Mankey, Pikachu, Clefairy, Butterfree, and Lapras EX (a new card). Lapras EX stats: 140 HP, Bubble Drain (2 Water, 1 Colorless), 80 damage, heals 20 damage, 3 Retreat Cost.
