What are the exclusive cards?
This event features the exclusive Promo Pack A Series Vol. 7 which contains only exclusive Promo cards. The best way to collect this pack 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.
Promo Pack A Series Vol. 7
The highlight from this pack is the exclusive Rayquaza ex. There's a 12.66% chance to open Rayquaza ex in a Promo Pack A Series Vol. 7. The booster pack contains 4 other cards:
- Rayquaza, another exclusive card for this event! There's a 15.82% chance to open it.
- Farfetch'd, Froakie and Exeggcute. They're all alternative versions of their counterparts from Genetic Apex and Mythical Island. There's a 23.84% to open any of them.

The Volkner and Single Point Lightning decks mentioned above are ideal, as none of these include a Pokémon ex: make sure you play no cards with alternative artworks.
