Solo Random Battles Explained

Random Battles are a new Solo Battle mode added in Pokemon TCG Pocket on January 29th, 2026. Keep reading to know more about this new Single player game mode and what deck is the best to use for it!

List of Contents

What are Solo Random Battles?

Battle Against Random CPU Opponents

Random Battle (Beginner)

Solo Random Battles is a new game mode where players face off against CPU opponents with randomly generated decks. These work similarly to the Step-Up Battles, but without the advantage of knowing your opponent's deck beforehand, simulating less stressful online ranked battles.

Random Battles also have varying levels of difficulty similar to Step-Up Battles.

Accumulate Points for Bonus Rewards

accumulating Random Battle points

Unlike the Step-Up Battles, where players get additional rewards through deck-related or battle-specific Battle Tasks, bonus rewards from Random Battles are gained by accumulating points across multiple matches.

The required number of points for each reward increases with the battle difficulty, with the Expert difficulty unlocking its final reward after getting a total of 50 points from Expert Random Battles.

Mega Venusaur ex with the Quick-Grow Extract can get its key cards up the fastest of any deck in the current meta! This Mega Venusaur ex Deck is also reliably consistent to use on Auto and has been tested by our team to get win streaks of up to 10 wins or more!

With the help of Copycat and Quick-Grow Extract, it is possible to have Mega Venusaur ex up by your third turn in the game.

Make sure to use your Supporter cards strategically. Be careful not to reshuffle cards that are needed for your setup. Make use of your resources before using cards that will reshuffle your hand into your deck.
