Less than a week later, DeNa launched yet another promotion in the form of the Gible Drop Event. As is typically the case withPokemon TCG Pocketdrop events, this one allows fans to earn promo cards by completing limited-time battles. There are four single-player battles to go through, rated as Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. All four feature an opponent that uses a Fighting deck, with the first two matching up badly against Grass types.

Meanwhile, the Advanced and Expert battles in the Gible Drop Event require players to face opponents like Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, i.e., some of thebest non-EX attackers inPokemon TCG Pocket. A Psychic deck should do well against both of them, though it won’t have an inherent advantage against their main threat—Garchomp EX, which is weak to Grass. As per usual, battling in the Gible Drop Event requires event stamina, which recharges over time and can also be recovered via event hourglasses. Losing doesn’t consume stamina.

The first win in every Gible Drop Event solo battle guarantees a special booster pack containing a singlePokemon TCG Pocketpromo card. The reward pool includes Cherrim, Raichu, Nosepass, Staraptor, and a full-art promo Gible card. Flashy artwork aside, this card is functionally identical to the Gible that can be obtained from the Palkia packs from the Space-Time Smackdown expansion and the one from the newly released Triumphant Light set.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Gible Drop Event Runs Until March 16

The Gible Drop Event is scheduled to run for exactly two weeks, ending on March 16, at 10:59pm PST. In addition to cards, players can earn Shinedust, shop tickets, and hourglasses by winning battles. All of these rewards are guaranteed for first-time wins, while subsequent victories offer a chance at either a promo booster pack or one of the other rewards.Pokemon TCG Pocket’s ongoing Gible Drop Event also features one-time challenges; completing enough of them allows players to earn several rewards, including a few full-sized booster packs.
