Venusaur Drop Event Details

  • Star Date: November 29, 2024
  • End Date: December 13, 2024
  • Featured Reward: Venusaur (P-A #18 full-art variant)
  • Event Type: Solo Battle

In the world of Pokemon Pocket, the Venusaur Drop Event is the second event in the Promo-A series, coming after the Lapras ex Drop Event. Lasting for 14 days, this event invites players to participate in Solo Battles against four Venusaur-themed decks, each with its own difficulty level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. The objective is to gather Promo-A Packs and unlock the cards from the Promo Pack Series A Vol. 2 collection, which showcase fresh versions of Venusaur, Greninja, Haunter, Onix, and Jigglypuff.

The new cards in the Promo-A Vol. 2 have the following drop rates:

  • Venusaur: 12.66%
  • Greninja: 15.82%
  • Haunter: 23.84%
  • Onix: 23.84%
  • Jigglypuff: 23.84%

During the Venusaur Drop Event, Stamina serves as the currency, and it regenerates every 12 hours. Each victory deducts one Stamina point. You can swiftly refill it by using Event Stamina Hourglasses, or if you don’t have any, your Stamina meter will take a total of 60 hours to fully recharge.

Venusaur Drop Event New Cards List

  • Promo-A #18 Venusaur: A new full-art variant with no changes to its effects or abilities.
  • Promo-A #19 Greninja: A new variant with no changes to its effects or abilities.
  • Promo-A #20 Haunter: HP reduced to 70 (down from 80), DMG increased to 50 (up from 30). However, you must flip a coin before each attack—if it’s tails, there will be no damage.

The Best Deck for Completing the Venusaur Drop Event

In the Venusaur Drop Event, all decks are Grass-type, which means using a Fire-type deck offers the optimal response. This strategy is particularly effective against Grass, delivering an enhanced damage output and maintaining a strong competitive position.

The following Charizard ex lineup is one of the META decks in Pokemon Pocket for this event:

  • Charizard ex (x2)
  • Charmander (x2)
  • Chameleon (x2)
  • Ponyta (x2)
  • Rapidash (x2)
  • Moltres (x1)
  • X Speed (x1)
  • Poke Ball (x2)
  • Professor’s Research (x2)
  • Blaine (x2)
  • Sabrina (x2)

The Best Rental Deck for the Venusaur Event

Blaine’s Rental Deck is a dependable option for overpowering many decks during the competition. It primarily revolves around Rapidash, Magmar, and Ninetales, whose enhanced attack power proves particularly potent against Venusaur’s Grass-based decks.

Tips for Making the Most of the Venusaur Drop Event

  • Restart frequently. Stamina is only consumed if you win, so concede and start a new match if the odds aren’t in your favor.
  • Focus on higher difficulties. Unlock Advanced difficulty quickly, as it’s the most farm-friendly mode and the best place to spend your Stamina.
  • Complete Battle Tasks on your first attempt. Since you’ll primarily replay Expert mode, avoid using resources for other difficulties. Finish their side quests on the first try for maximum rewards.
