Ceruledge ex is the best card to pull in this event, as it is a strong ex card that you can build your deck around.
Pawniard may also be good to pull, as it functions differently from other Pawniard cards. Its move allows you to search for Basic Pokemon that you might need in your deck.
Open Promo Packs in Gift Menu
Whenever you receive a promo pack as a reward, you can open it in your gift list found in the upper right of the main menu.
A pack only contains one of the available promo cards, so try to get and open as many packs as you can!

In Event Solo Battles, you can battle against different decks that scale on difficulty. Once you have defeated a deck, the next deck will be unlocked containing harder cards than the last.
There are only 4 levels of Solo Battle: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert—with Expert giving you a guaranteed card pack pull from the event.
Use Energy-Efficient Darkness-Types
Ceruledge ex can discard Energy, while Mimikyu ex can tank one hit without taking damage.
It is best to use Pokemon that have low Attack Costs and can attack quickly in order to counter the opponent's aces. Darkness-type Pokemon are ideal, as they have a Type advantage over the opposing deck.

Use Pokemon That Generate Energy
Alternatively, you may use Pokemon that can accelerate their own Energy in order to counter Ceruledge ex. Hydreigon is a good pick for a mid to late-game attacker, as it can OHKO any Pokemon from your opponent's team.
Discard the Opponent's Stadium Cards
Peculiar Plaza can help opponents retreat their Pokemon at a lower cost to prevent them from getting KO'd. To prevent this, you may discard it by replacing it with a Stadium Card of your own.

Non-ex Darkness Deck
| Deck | Commentary |
|---|---|
 Hydreigon Deck Deck Type:
|
Strengths: • Can set itself up to Attack with its Roar in Unison Ability. • Can attack on consecutive turns, despite Hyper Ray's discard condition. Weaknesses: • Roar in Unison puts damage on Hydreigon, making it easier to KO. • Hydreigon is a Stage 2, which requires some effort and resources to set up. |
| Card List | |
         |
|
Hydreigon boasts a number of powerful attributes. being a non-ex, single-point Pokemon that can deal high damage and accelerate Energy onto itself.
Being a Stage 2, however comes with the limitation of being difficult to set up and being reliant on multiple turns and finding Rare Candy.
This deck also runs non-ex Absol, whose Leap Over Attack can 2HKO Charcadet.

Mega Rising Golurk and Garganacl Hybrid Deck
Deck Type:
|
Strengths: • Golurk has a very strong chance of swinging for up to 180 damage thanks to the deck composition. • Garganacl serves as a backup hitter. • Despite being a Fighting-type deck, is not weak to Ceruledge ex or the other Psychic-type cards. Weaknesses: • Relies on the luck of the draw to get Golett into Golurk. • Garganacl itself only works best if energy is attached on ramp. |
| Card List | |
       |
|
This is a deck adaptation that revolves around Mega Rising Golurk and its Heavy Rocket attack which can deal up to 180 Damage with only 2 Energy.
The Garganacl line has members that empower Golurk's Heavy Rocket (except for Nacli itself), while still getting the chance to evolve and attack in case you can't draw the cards you need.
You'll also want to add Stage 1 or Stage 2 Pokemon with Retreat Costs of 3 or more to further empower Golurk's Heavy Rocket. Houndstone and Copperajah are probably the easiest to add as they are lower rarity, but you can also add Kingambit and/or Dunsparce.
