2025-01-26

To keep things fresh with PvE battles and more ways to get cards, there’s yet another event to check out in this year’s hit mobile card game. Here’s everything you need to know about the Venusaur event in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Venusaur Drop Event Start and End Dates

The Venusaur event in Pokemon TCG Pocket will run from Nov. 29 to Dec. 13, 12:59 a.m. Eastern Time. This means you’ll have about two weeks to check out the event and get all the rewards you need from it.

During this time, you’ll be able to take part in special event battles against a Venusaur deck of varying difficulties, and earn resources and new cards.

How to Start the Venusaur Event

First off, make sure your Pokemon TCG Pocket app is updated to the latest version. Start up the game, tap on the Battles tab and choose the Solo option.

From here, click on the Venusaur category, and you’ll be able to test your mettle against a series of AI decks making use of Venusaur and other Grass-type Pokemon cards. Just like with the Lapras Ex event, you’ll get first clear rewards for every battle, as well as chance rewards that you can grind for by repeating the battles.

All Decks and Challenges

We’ll update this section as soon as we’ve gotten a chance to check out the battles.

Best Decks and Strategies

With Venusaur being a Grass-type Pokemon, naturally your best bet is going to be using a Fire-focused deck. The Charizard Ex deck is one of the three most powerful decks in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta right now, and the deck list is as follows:

Charmander x2
Charmeleon x2
Charizard Ex x2
Moltres Ex x2
Potion x2
X Speed x2
Poke Ball x2
Professor’s Research x2
Sabrina x2
Giovanni x2

The goal here is simple. Start with Moltres Ex, and spam Inferno Dance to build up Energy for your Charmander as you slowly evolve it into Charizard Ex. Once that’s done, you’re basically unstoppable as Charizard Ex is able to decimate anything that stands in its way.

If you don’t have the cards to build this deck, you can also try the Blaine deck with Rapidash and Ninetales. This requires a bit more finessing, but you might be surprised by how much sneaky damage you can put out with a well-timed Blaine.
