What is the Pokémon TCG Pocket Mareep Drop Event
The Mareep Drop event is a solo battle event, which means that players have to face multiple CPU enemies with varying Mareep-themed decks. While the difficulty will increase the more players progress, it also means that the rewards that players can expect will also increase with the difficulty.
Of course, like with other Drop events, players will also get the chance to collect event-exclusive cards. Because of this, it may be a good idea to beef up your deck in advance to prepare, since you’ll be expected to win the battles if you want the first-clear reward of every difficulty. Of course, if you’re struggling to break through a strength ceiling for your deck, you can always utilize LootBar’s services to change that.
It’s important to note that, aside from the regular first-clear rewards, players can also get in-game goodies through other means. These methods include the random chance for drop rewards that lucky players can get, and the additional battle task rewards that those who don’t mind going the extra distance can get.
When will the Mareep Drop Event start?
As for when the Mareep Drop Event will start in Pokémon TCG Pocket, players can expect it to start on January 1, 2026, alongside the new year celebration campaign. The good news is that players will have more than enough time to complete every mission and battle, as the event will conclude on January 18, 2026.
