In this article, we’ll cover how to beat the Alcremie Drop event in the fastest and most efficient way possible—so let’s dive right in.
Alcremie Drop Event (Beginner)
Battle Task
| Mission | Reward |
|---|---|
| Knock Out your opponent's Active Pokémon 1 time with an attack from a Metal-type Pokémon |  4 |
| Put 3 Basic Pokémon into play | 4 |
How to Beat it
We'll start with what is arguably the best deck to run in this event for sheer speed alone: the A3-122 A2-111 deck. The game plan is simple—evolve into A3-122 as quickly as possible and start dealing 120 damage every turn for just 2 Energy. While assembling A3-122, A2-111 is the ideal starter. With any Tool attached, it deals 50 damage every turn, enough to carry the game until A3-122 comes online.
This deck is especially effective against the opponent’s line that A2-111 can one-shot with ease, making for fast progress. Just remember to have 3 Basic Pokémon in play to complete that mission requirement.
If you're missing A3-122, another option is A2-111 A2-053. This build runs no EX Pokémon and is designed for simplicity and efficiency, although finding A2-053 can be tricky if you're just starting out and might require trading for it.
The deck uses only Metal Energy. The ideal start is with A2-111. Attach any Tool card (such as A3-146 or A2-147) to unlock its 50-damage attack. From there, evolve A2-051 into A1-098 to accelerate Lightning Energy to itself with its Ability. Once you've attached two Lightning Energy this way, evolve into A2-053 and attach one more Energy manually to start hitting for 110 damage.
If you don't have A2-120, A2a-060 is a solid alternative. Likewise, if you're missing A3-146, you can simply run an extra A2-147 without any issues.
For the mission that requires you to Knock Out your opponent’s Active Pokémon with a Metal-type attack, A2-111 alone is often enough to get it done, especially against beginner AI opponents.
Lastly, note that winning the match is not required — it's more efficient to complete all the mission conditions first before finishing the match, allowing you to clear the goal using only 1 stamina.
Alcremie Drop Event (Intermediate)
Battle Task
| Mission | Reward |
|---|---|
| Knock Out your opponent's Active Pokémon 2 times with an attack from a Metal-type Pokémon | 3 |
| Put a Stage 1 Pokémon into play | 4 |
| Win this battle by turn 14 | 4 |
How to Beat it
You can play the same decks listed above—refer to the earlier sections for how they work. Since there’s a mission to put Stage 1 Pokémon into play, evolving into A3-086 is mandatory instead of using A3-144 to skip directly to A3-122. For the Magnezone variation, you also need to use A1-098 for the mission to count.
The objective to win within 14 turns is very manageable with either deck, as both are incredibly fast.
Alcremie Drop Event (Advanced)
Battle Task
| Mission | Reward |
|---|---|
| Knock Out your opponent's Active Pokémon 2 times with an attack from a Metal-type Pokémon |  4 |
| Win this battle using a deck where all the Pokémon cards are of ♦, ♦♦, and/or ♦♦♦ rarity | 4 |
| Win this battle by turn 14 | 4 |
| Win this battle without your opponent getting any points | 4 |
How to Beat it
For the mission that requires you to win using only Pokémon of ♦, ♦♦, and/or ♦♦♦ rarity, you have to use the Skarmory Magnezone deck, as it features only non-EX cards. For full details, refer to the earlier sections of this guide.
I recommend simply restarting games until you open with A2-111 and a Tool (such as A3-146 or A2-147) to finish the mission quickly. Afterward, switch to the Skarmory Solgaleo deck, since that one is faster overall and more suited to Auto play.
For the mission to win without the opponent scoring any points, this can be more challenging with a non-EX deck. Switching to the Skarmory Solgaleo deck is recommended, as it is faster and better for that goal.
Alcremie Drop Event (Expert)
Battle Task
| Mission | Reward |
|---|---|
| Win this battle using a Deck where all the Pokémon cards are of ♦, ♦♦, and/or ♦♦♦ rarity | 5 |
| Win this battle by turn 12 | 5 |
| Win this battle without your opponent getting any points | 5 |
| Win 10 or more battles | 5 |
| Win 20 or more battles | 5 |
How to Beat it
We're just going to repeat the strategy from the Intermediate section, so refer to that section for details. Play the Skarmory Magnezone deck first and win with A2-111, then switch to the Solgaleo deck for faster games and to clear the mission to win without your opponent getting any points more easily.
