Recommended Decks
The rental a1-226-lt-surge deck will work decently here at least until the Expert stage, where you may need a stronger deck to beat it consistently. It also helps complete the Battle Task as it does not contain any cards above the ♦♦♦ rarity.
If you have a1-96-pikachuex you're in luck because it's one of the strongest decks in the game right now and should have no trouble beating the final level of the deck. Use any variation and substitute what you don't have from the deck below.
If you are looking for other options without Pikachu ex, then there are some strategies to "cheese" the event. You do not lose Event Stamina for losing (just concede before you do), so feel free to test your luck!
- Create a deck with one a1-104-zapdosex and no other basic Pokémon, and complete it with Item cards and Supporter Trainer cards.
- If the AI has promo-14-lapras as its active Pokémon, attack their bench with a1-106-zebstrika it does not add to Energy to it.
