Pokemon TCG Pocket Venusaur Drop event: Dates, rewards & more

Here is everything you need to know about Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Venusaur Drop event, from dates and rewards to new Promo cards.

Pokemon TCG Pocket quickly made a name for itself when it was first released at the end of October 2024. Now, a few months into its lifecycle, trainers have been given a whole new event guide: the Venusaur Promo event.

This new event is the second for the game and follows the water-based Lapras EX event. Trainers will be battling against grass-type Pokemon this time, so be sure to update your fire deck as this event is already shaping up to be a big challenge.

Here is everything you need to know about the new Venusaur Promo event, including the end date, rewards, and more.
