In Pokémon TCG Pocket a PvP event is returning that has driven many players to despair. This time, they don’t want to stress themselves and just want to grab the free items.
What kind of event is this? Just like with Unbeatable Genes
, there is now a PvP event for Mysterious Island
where players must achieve multiple wins in a row against other trainers. This means that players cannot lose, otherwise, the counter resets to 0.
To receive the highest gold emblem as a reward, collectors must achieve 5 wins in a row. This is difficult for many players, as there is always a deck combination that their own does poorly against. Therefore, many have already given up before even starting the first match.
However, some fans still see something positive about the event. They are not even trying to win, but have their eyes on a specific item.

Players capitulate at the event, only collect free items
Why does it still make sense to participate in the event? In the Reddit forum, some fans write that they only participate in the event to grab the pack hourglasses. These are items that reduce the waiting time until the next pack can be opened.
The pack hourglasses are given as a reward when participating in PvP battles during the event period. This way, players can at least collect some pack hourglasses, even if they never win. Some users hope they can at least help others get the emblems.
The user DefinitelyNotAShark is trying to make it at least a mini-game for his amusement. He has a deck only with Chatot, which draws a card from his own deck for each card in the opponent’s hand. He is trying to empty his deck before the opponent can defeat him.
How should I approach the event the best way? If you don’t want to stress yourself with the event, it is completely sufficient to play the 10 matches to get all the free hourglasses. However, it can also help not to drive yourself crazy in the first days of the event.
The PvP event runs until January 27, 2025. Towards the end of the event, many players may have already received their emblem and therefore withdraw from the mode. This could make it easier to get one of the emblems.
