Pokemon TCG Pocket Mareep Drop Event: All Missions, Promo Cards and Free Rewards

Pokemon TCG Pocket’s first event for 2026 will feature Mareep in Solo Battles. During the Drop Event, you’ll be able to get the Mareep Art Rare Promo card by participating in Solo Battles. You can also get some other cards, complete missions, and earn more rewards.

Mareep Art Rare Promo can only be obtained from this limited-time event, which means all the TCG Pocket players must participate to get their hands on this rare card. Here’s all the information that you need to know regarding the Mareep Drop event.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Mareep Drop Event Release Date and Time 

The Mareep Drop Event in Pokemon TCG Pocket releases on January 1, 2026, and will be available for 10 days. We have listed the start and the end times below.

• Start Date and Time: Thursday, January 1, 2026, at 11:30 PM PT

After the TCGP event ends, you can no longer obtain the rewards.

Mareep Drop Event Promo Cards and Missions

During the Pokemon TCG Pocket Mareep Drop Event, you can Solo Battle Mareep and Lightning-themed decks and obtain Promo packs, which have a chance to drop Mareep and other promo cards. There are also missions available that will reward you with Event Hourglasses, Shop Tickets, Shine Dust, and more. Here are all the cards that you can obtain from the Wonder Picks.

Mareep Drop Event Exclusive Promo Cards

You can find the following cards featured in the Mareep drop event:

Pokemon Card	Drop Rate
Mareep Art Rare	12.66%
Krookodile	15.82%
Arcanine	23.84%
Magikarp	23.84%
Swablu	23.84%

The event features Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2, which contains only exclusive Promo cards. You can get the pack by completing solo battles. However, the less difficult ones (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) have a lower chance of rewarding the pack. The Expert solo battle gives you a guaranteed pack as a reward, and we recommend you complete that multiple times to get all the featured cards.

Mareep Drop Event Special Missions and Rewards

During the Mareep drop event, you can finish the new set of missions from the Missions Tab. Here are all the Missions and the rewards that were added:

• Participate in 1 Battle: rewards one Promo Pack B Series Vol 2
• Participate in 3 Battles: rewards one Promo Pack B Series Vol 2
• Participate in 5 Battles: rewards one Promo Pack B Series Vol 2
• Participate in 10 Battles: rewards one Promo Pack B Series Vol 2
• Participate in 15 Battles: rewards one Promo Pack B Series Vol 2
• Participate in 10 Battles: rewards one Promo Card Exchange Ticket for Mareep Drop Event

The Promo Card Exchange Ticket is event-specific, which means that it will expire after the event ends (after 15 days). The ticket cannot be stacked or kept for future use. If you have already completed the event and obtained two copies of Mareep, you must use the Ticket to claim a free copy of the card, or else you will lose it.
