How to get a free full-art Rayquaza ex in Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit confusing at the moment, because there are two Rayquaza-themed events running in TCG Pocket<\/em> right now: the \u201cRaquaza ex drop event<\/a>\u201d and \u201cSpecial Missions 2025.\u201d The Raquaza ex drop event does not give you the full-art Rayquaza \u2014 only the Special Missions 2025 event does.<\/p>\n

The drop event does not give you the rare full-art version of Rayquaza ex, but the Rayquaza ex card you can earn through it is functionally the same in competitive modes, since it has the same stats and attacks.<\/p>\n

You can collect items like pack hourglasses and the adorable \u201cstreet party\u201d themed playmat for free by completing the special missions in the Special Missions 2025 event. However, getting the full-art Rayquaza ex card might be a bit rough because you will need to win 50 (!) battles within in a single month-long period to get it.<\/p>\n

Here are the full directions on how get the full-art Rayquaza ex card<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the Missions page and tab to the \u201cSpecial\u201d section.<\/li>\n
  2. Complete the mission that gets you the Rayquaza ex card: \u201cWin 50 battles.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Once you win 50 battles (on any mode or difficulty), return to the Special mission page, then complete the mission to get your card.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It really makes it feel like the developers are making us work for this one! It\u2019s up to you to decide if that card is worth the grind. If your heart is dead-set on getting it, here are a few tips to alleviate the grind.<\/p>\n
