Genetic Apex Emblem Event 1 Pokémon TCG Pocket Event guide

Events are coming thick and fast in Pokémon TCG Pocket, with a third following the global launch now available and focusing on yet another aspect of the game. To help you make sure you get all the available rewards, we’ve highlighted everything you need to know.

While the Wonder Pick Event focused on the Wonder Pick feature and the Lapras ex Drop Event focused on single-player battles, the Genetic Apex Emblem Event 1 in Pokémon TCG Pocket is all about taking on real-life players around the world.

This makes it the most challenging of the events to complete so far, as you’re no longer relying on luck or breezing through easy battles every time. Instead, the caliber of opponent you face will vary from match to match—so prepare for a lot of grinding if you’ve got your eyes set on all the rewards.

There are four emblems available in the Genetic Apex Emblem Event 1, all of which require securing victories against other players in the live versus battle feature. The event runs from Nov. 7 to 28, so there’s only a limited time to earn them.

While winning battles is the main requirement to earn emblems in the event, there are also periodic rewards for simply playing versus battles. These actually offer the best rewards, with valuable Pack Hourglasses provided for hitting various milestones.
