Pokémon TCG Pocket Pawmot drop event start and end dates
First up, the Pawmot drop event in Pokémon TCG Pocket will run from April 7 to April 17 at 2 a.m. Eastern Time. This means that you’ll have 10 days to clear all of the battles and get all the rewards you need.
Keep in mind that you need to spend Event Hourglasses to attempt the battles. If you have leftover Hourglasses from previous events, however, you can use them in the Pawmot event too.

Keep in mind that the drop chance for the Promo Pack will change depending on which battle you’re farming. I’ve listed the drop chances below:
- Beginner pack drop chance: 51%
- Intermediate pack drop chance: 64%
- Advanced pack drop chance: 80%
- Expert pack drop chance: 100%
For the most efficient use of your time and your Event Hourglasses, I’d recommend farming the Expert battle once you unlock it.
Best decks to use for the event
Because these decks are made up primarily of Electric cards, your best bet is to use a Fighting deck. And what better Fighting deck to use than the dreaded Rampardos/Lucario combo? Here’s the decklist:
| Card | Amount | Set |
|---|---|---|
| Riolu | 2 | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) |
| Cranidos | 2 | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) |
| Sudowoodo | 1 | Triumphant Light |
| Rampardos | 2 | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) |
| Marshadow | 1 | Mythical Island |
| Lucario | 2 | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) |
| X Speed | 1 | Promo-A (Shop) |
| Poke Ball | 2 | Promo-A (Shop) |
| Pokemon Communication | 1 | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) |
| Skull Fossil | 2 | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) |
| Professor’s Research | 2 | Promo-A (Shop) |
| Sabrina | 1 | Genetic Apex (Charizard) |
| Cyrus | 1 | Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia) |
Promo Pack rewards
Finally, I’ve also listed the possible cards you can get from Promo Pack A Series Vol. 6:
- Pawmot (12.66%)
- Machamp (15.82%)
- Floatzel (23.84%)
- Ekans (23.84%)
- Bidoof (23.84%)
Given that the Pawmot card in this pack is a full art card, your chances of getting it are considerably lower than the rest. It might take a bit of farming, but as long as you’re exhausting your Event Hourglasses every day, you should be able to get it before the event ends.
