Best decks to use for Venusaur Drop Event in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Each of the four Solo Battles available during the Venusaur Drop Event feature Grass Pokémon, mostly themed around Venusaur. Therefore, the best decks to use are Fire-Type decks featuring the likes of Charizard, Arcanine, and Moltres.
The recent Fire-type Mass Outbreak event should have provided you with plenty of cards to use, including the likes of Arcanine ex. While perhaps not as powerful as Charizard, Arcanine ex requires only two energy to deal 120 attack—which can be boosted to 170 by taking advantage of any weaknesses on the field and using the Blaine Trainer Card.
While the AI opponent will predominantly use Grass-Type Pokémon, there are a few colorless cards included with the likes of Farfetch’d, Kangaskhan, and Tauros appearing. Don’t worry too much about countering them with their weaknesses and stick to using Fire-Type Pokémon—just be aware that may take a little bit more effort to take them down.
All Venusaur Drop Event missions and rewards
There are four levels of difficulty available in Solo Battles during the Venusaur Drop Event, which need to be defeated to unlock the higher difficulty. Promo Packs are available as random rewards for victory at any level, although your chances of obtaining one are greater if you beat a higher difficulty.
