Slowpoke Drop Event Guide | Pokémon TCG Pocket

The strength of Pokémon TCG Pocket lies in bringing the viral card-collecting habit to mobile devices. This is true, especially after removing many of the issues associated with collecting physical cards. Naturally, it makes sense that the developer continues to add all sorts of updates and events. The newest event is the Slowpoke Drop Event, which you can participate in to get a bunch of exclusive promo cards.

What is the Pokémon TCG Pocket Slowpoke Drop Event

The promo Slowbro card

The Slowpoke Drop Event in Pokémon TCG Pocket is a limited-time event that’s centered around Slowbro. Unlike Wonder Events, this is a battle-focused event. This means that you’re expected to battle multiple NPC teams if you want to earn rewards, though LootBar can ensure your team has the required strength.

The way players can get new cards is through the Promo Pack B Series Vol. 6. These packs are dropped for successfully winning event battles, completing event missions, and more. Speaking of event missions, there are a bunch of them that you can complete before the event goes away, and they’re all fairly simple.

Every battle also has some battle tasks that you can complete to get additional rewards. While they’re not as awesome as event packs, they’re still worth completing, especially since most of them are straightforward.

Every promo card in Pokémon TCG Pocket’s Slowpoke Drop Event

While the event is named after Slowbro, the Promo Pack B Series Vol. 6 can drop one of five cards. Below is every promo card in this event:

  • There’s a 12.66% chance of getting Slowpoke

  • There’s a 15.82% chance of getting Haxorus

  • There’s a 23.84% chance of getting Electrike

  • There’s a 23.84% chance of getting Chatot

  • There’s a 23.84% chance of getting Varoom

While all of these cards have nice artwork, the Slowbro one is a special art card. It’s definitely worth getting if you’re a collector or a fan of Slowbro.

How long is the Pokémon TCG Pocket Slowpoke Drop Event?

The Slowbro drop event started on April 9, 2026. It will go on until April 26, giving you over two weeks to complete everything the event has to offer. Since there are only five cards up for grabs, this much time should be more than enough.

There are four levels of difficulty in this event. The difficulty you select determines how hard the NPC deck you’re facing is, but it also increases the quality of rewards that you’ll get if you’re successful.
