Exciting News: Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Pokemon TCG Pocket has introduced an exciting new competitive event as players eagerly anticipate the upcoming release of the first mini-set. The Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 offers players the opportunity to compete for one or all four prestigious badges of honor, known as Emblems. This guide provides essential details about the Emblem Event and highlights the top-performing META decks.
Event Details
Here’s what players need to know about the Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1:
- Start Date: December 9, 2024
- End Date: December 16, 2024
- Type: PvP Event
- Premise: Achieve Consecutive PvP Wins
- Primary Reward: Emblems
This event marks the second Emblem event in Pokemon Pocket, following the previous month’s event that lasted 20 days. Participants must achieve between two to five consecutive wins to earn badges of honor, which can be showcased on their profile to demonstrate their skills.
Key Changes in the Event
Compared to the previous Emblem Event, the Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 features two significant changes:
- Players need only five uninterrupted wins to complete the event, a reduction from the previous requirement of 45 wins.
- The event duration is limited to just one week, unlike the former event that ran for twenty days.
Missions and Rewards
The primary objective in the Emblem Event is to win five consecutive matches. Any loss resets the win counter, requiring players to start over. Aside from the main mission, players can also complete side quests for additional rewards, including Shinedust and Pack Hourglasses.
Emblem Missions & Rewards
- Win 2 Consecutive Event Matches: Participation Emblem
- Win 3 Consecutive Event Matches: Bronze Emblem
- Win 4 Consecutive Event Matches: Silver Emblem
- Win 5 Consecutive Event Matches: Gold (Crown) Emblem
Shinedust Missions & Rewards
- Win 1 Event Match: 50 Shinedust
- Win 3 Event Matches: 100 Shinedust
- Win 5 Event Matches: 200 Shinedust
- Win 10 Event Matches: 500 Shinedust
- Win 25 Event Matches: 1,000 Shinedust
- Win 50 Event Matches: 2,000 Shinedust
Shinedust missions do not require consecutive wins and are based on total victories throughout the event.
Participation Missions & Rewards
- Participate in 1 Event Match: 3 Pack Hourglasses
- Participate in 3 Event Matches: 3 Pack Hourglasses
- Participate in 5 Event Matches: 6 Pack Hourglasses
- Participate in 10 Event Matches: 12 Pack Hourglasses
Participation rewards are granted regardless of match outcomes. Players can earn up to 24 Pack Hourglasses by completing all tasks, which translates to two free booster packs.
Optimal Deck Choices for the Event
In December’s Emblem Event, three archetypes dominate the Pokemon TCG Pocket PvP metagame: Mewtwo ex, Pikachu ex, and Articuno ex. To minimize randomness, players should avoid counter decks like Marowak ex. A mirror strategy, where you play the same deck as your opponent, can enhance your chances of success.
If you lack one of the top three decks, consider utilizing a META Charizard ex deck. Although it may not perform ideally against top-tier decks, its lower RNG can improve your odds against other META decks.
Equipping Your Emblems
To equip the Emblems earned from the event, follow these steps:
- Tap your avatar on the home page.
- Tap the Emblem slots located below your profile title and account level.
- Select the Emblem you wish to equip.
Remember, you can equip up to three Emblems simultaneously. While Emblems are purely cosmetic and do not influence gameplay, they allow opponents to see your choices at the start of the match, providing a fun opportunity to taunt them before the battle begins.
