Event information

The Mareep Drop Event ran from January 1 to 11, 2026. It featured a set of four battles, ranging in difficulty from Beginner to Expert, for players to challenge. Players could obtain cards from the Promo-B series by receiving Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2; packs were given as guaranteed first-time rewards for each of the four battles, as well as potential rewards for each win therafter, with battles of higher difficulties being more likely to give packs as a reward.
