Get ready to spread your wings and dive into an exciting adventure, Trainers! The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is hosting a Mega Pidgeot ex drop event that’s bound to test your skills and reward your efforts—but here’s where it gets tricky: managing your stamina could be the key to unlocking all the treasures this event has to offer.
From November 17, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. to November 27, 2025, at 9:59 p.m. PST, players will have the chance to engage in solo battles across four increasingly challenging tiers. Each victory not only brings you closer to glory but also unlocks a treasure trove of rewards, including the highly coveted Mega Pidgeot ex promo card with exclusive artwork. Think of it as a collector’s dream and a battler’s boon!
But here’s the part most people miss: This event isn’t just about winning—it’s about strategy. You’ll need to carefully manage your event stamina, which replenishes over time or with the use of event hourglasses. Every solo battle victory consumes one stamina point, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Your first win in each tier can earn you pack hourglasses, shinedust, shop tickets, and a promo card pack, while subsequent victories offer chances at additional promo cards, shinedust, or shop tickets.
And this is where it gets controversial: Is it better to focus on winning battles repeatedly for more chances at promo cards, or should you prioritize completing battle tasks for extra hourglasses? Battle tasks, which can be completed even if you lose a match, provide event hourglasses and wonder hourglasses, giving you more opportunities to extend your playtime. It’s a balancing act that could spark debates among players—what’s your strategy?
Here’s a breakdown of the five exclusive cards you can earn during this event:
1. Mega Pidgeot ex promo card (exclusive artwork)
2. Additional promo card pack
3. Shinedust
4. Shop tickets
5. Pack hourglasses
As you take on the majestic Bird Pokémon, remember that every battle, win or lose, is a step toward victory. So, Trainers, are you ready to soar to new heights and claim your rewards?
