Charcadet Drop Event now available in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Win Solo Battles to acquire new Promo-B cards — New Ranked Match season starts now

A Charcadet Drop Event has now commenced in Pokémon TCG Pocket, running through to March 20th at 10:59pm (PDT)/ March 21st at 5:59am (UTC), offering players the opportunity to challenge a series of special solo battles to attempt to obtain promo card packs and other rewards.

The newest Ranked Match Season, for the Paldean Wonders expansion, is also underway, running through to March 24th, at 10:59pm (PDT) / March 25th at 5:59am (UTC). In ranked matches, players will face off against other players of a similar rank. Players will receive an emblem based on their rank at the end of the season that can be showcased on their player profile.

As with past Drop Events, on completing each event battle players will have a chance at acquiring one or more of the following chance rewards:

• Promo Pack B Series Vol. 5 ×1
• Shinedust ×25
• Shop Ticket ×1

Each Promo Pack B Series Vol. 5 contains a single card, selected at random from the following five cards from the Promo-B promotional set:

• Smoliv (Promo-B 34)
• Charcadet (Promo-B 35)
• Tatsugiri (Promo-B 36)
• Frigibax (Promo-B 37)
• Tinkaton (Promo-B 38)

Charcadet, Tatsugiri and Tinkaton are identical mechanically to the cards of the same names from the Paldean Wonders expansion, differing only in their card art and set number. Smoliv and Frigibax meanwhile are completely original cards.

As a first for this latest Drop Event, a selection of special Missions will also be available offering additional fixed rewards:

• Participate in 10 battles: Promo Card Exchange Ticket (Charcadet Drop Event)
• Participate in 1 battle: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 5 ×1
• Participate in 3 battles: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 5 ×1
• Participate in 5 battles: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 5 ×1
• Participate in 10 battles: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 5 ×1
• Participate in 15 battles: Promo Pack B Series Vol. 5 ×1

As the name suggests, the Promo Card Exchange Ticket (Charcadet Drop Event) can be used in the in-game shop to acquire any one Promo Card from this Drop Event, which should ensure most players are able to acquire at least one copy of every single card. Please note that these missions do not require the player to actually participate in event Solo Battles, and can be completed by challenging Step-up Battles, or indeed any other battle.

To challenge event battles, players will need to use event stamina. All players will start with 5 event stamina when they first log-in to begin the event. Event stamina can be recovered over time, regenerating at a rate of 1 stamina every 12 hours, or by using event hourglass items. These event hourglasses can be acquired by completing battle tasks for each of the event battles. Event hourglasses earned in previous drop events can continue to be used in this event.
