The upcoming Pokémon TCG Pocket Emblem Event is where players battle against each other and win special Emblems based on the wins they have during the event duration, as well as bonus Missions to complete for additional rewards!
It is expected to be similar to the Genetic Apex Emblem Event 1, but shorter in nature in time for the release of the first mini set A1a on December 17, 2024. This means that the requirements may be different according to the game description, most likely requiring a win streak instead of total wins. Here's everything you need to know about the event.
Information here is based on the global launch leaks not final and more information will be added after its release. Please check out our full calendar for more information on the upcoming schedule.
