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.
