What are the exclusive cards?
This event features Promo Pack A Series Vol. 4 which contains only exclusive Promo cards. The best way to get it is by completing the Expert challenge over and over again: it's a guaranteed reward. In earlier stages, it can drop as a reward too, but it's a percentage chance.
The highlight from this pack is Cresselia ex. There's a 12.66% chance to open Cresselia ex in a Promo Pack A Series Vol. 4. It is exclusive to this event. Its effect mirrors that of Darkrai ex from Space-Time Smackdown.
The booster pack contains 4 other cards:
- Electivire, which is the same as Electivire from Space-Time Smackdown except for the new artwork. There's a 15.82% chance to open it.
- Misdreavus, an exclusive card from this event. There's a 23.84% chance to open it.
- Turtwig and Skarmory. They're all alternative art versions for their Space-Time Smackdown counterpart. There's a 23.84% chance to open any of it.
