Pokemon TCG Pocket Mareep Drop Event Guide (January 2026) All Missions & Promo Cards
The Pokemon TCG Pocket Mareep Drop Event is kicking off the new year with exclusive promo cards, free rewards, and challenging solo battles featuring Lightning-themed decks. Running from January 1 to January 11, 2026, this limited-time event offers you the chance to obtain the highly sought-after Mareep Art Rare promo card and four other exclusive cards from Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2. I’ve been tracking Pokemon TCG Pocket events since launch, and this Mareep event is one of the most rewarding opportunities to expand your collection without spending a dime.
The event features four difficulty tiers (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert), each with unique missions, rewards, and drop rates. Whether you’re a F2P player or Premium Pass holder, you’ll want to complete as many battles as possible to maximize your promo pack rewards. Let me walk you through everything you need to know to dominate this event and add these exclusive cards to your collection.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Mareep Drop Event Overview
| Event Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Event Name | Mareep Drop Event |
| Event Type | Solo Battle Drop Event |
| Start Date | January 1, 2026 at 11:30 PM PT |
| End Date | January 11, 2026 at 11:29 AM PT |
| Duration | 10 Days |
| Featured Promo Pack | Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 |
| Featured Card | Mareep Art Rare (PROMO-B-015) |
| Event Stamina Required | 1 per battle (recovers 1 every 12 hours) |
| Difficulty Levels | Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert |
The Mareep Drop Event is Pokemon TCG Pocket’s first major event of 2026, offering players exclusive access to five promo cards that cannot be obtained anywhere else during this time period. Unlike regular booster packs where you’re gambling on pulls, this event guarantees you’ll receive promo packs by completing battles—with the Expert difficulty providing a 100% drop rate for Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2.
All Mareep Drop Event Promo Cards and Drop Rates
The Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 contains five exclusive cards, with Mareep Art Rare serving as the featured card with alternative artwork from its Mega Rising expansion print. Here’s the complete breakdown of every card you can pull:
| Card Name | Card ID | Type | Drop Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mareep Art Rare | PROMO-B-015 | Lightning | 12.66% | Art Rare |
| Krookodile | PROMO-B-016 | Fighting | 15.82% | Promo |
| Arcanine | PROMO-B-014 | Fire | 23.84% | Promo |
| Magikarp | PROMO-B-017 | Water | 23.84% | Promo |
| Swablu | PROMO-B-013 | Colorless | 23.84% | Promo |
Featured Card: Mareep Art Rare Analysis
The Mareep Art Rare (PROMO-B-015) is the crown jewel of this event. With only a 12.66% pull rate from each Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2, you’ll need to complete multiple battles to guarantee obtaining this card. The Art Rare features stunning alternative artwork that showcases Mareep in a scenic environment, making it a must-have for collectors.
From a gameplay perspective, Mareep serves as an excellent Lightning-type starter for evolution decks. While it may not be meta-defining like Pikachu ex or Magnezone, it provides solid early-game pressure and can be evolved into Flaaffy and Ampharos for more powerful late-game strategies.
Promo Pack Drop Rates By Difficulty
Understanding the drop rates for each difficulty level is crucial for optimizing your event stamina usage:
| Difficulty | Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 Drop Rate | Stamina Cost | First-Time Guaranteed? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 51% | 1 | Yes |
| Intermediate | 64% | 1 | Yes |
| Advanced | 80% | 1 | Yes |
| Expert | 100% | 1 | Yes |
My Recommendation: Focus primarily on Expert difficulty battles. The 100% guaranteed drop rate means every stamina point is efficiently converted into a promo pack. Only complete lower difficulties for their first-time clear rewards and battle task bonuses.
Complete Mareep Drop Event Missions and Rewards
The event features two types of missions: Special Event Missions and Difficulty-Specific Battle Tasks. Both provide valuable rewards that accelerate your promo pack collection.
Special Event Missions
These missions track your overall participation across all difficulty levels:
| Mission | Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Participate in 1 Battle | Complete any difficulty once | 1x Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 |
| Participate in 3 Battles | Complete 3 battles total | 1x Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 |
| Participate in 5 Battles | Complete 5 battles total | 1x Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 |
| Participate in 10 Battles | Complete 10 battles total | 1x Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 |
| Participate in 15 Battles | Complete 15 battles total | 1x Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 |
| Participate in 10 Battles (Special) | Complete 10 battles total | 1x Promo Card Exchange Ticket |
Total Special Mission Rewards: 5 Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 + 1 Promo Card Exchange Ticket
The Promo Card Exchange Ticket is particularly valuable—it allows you to select any card from the Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 set, guaranteeing you can obtain Mareep Art Rare even if RNG isn’t on your side. However, this ticket expires 15 days after the event ends, so make sure to use it before it disappears!

Event Stamina System Explained
The Mareep Drop Event uses a separate stamina system from your regular pack opening stamina. Understanding how this works is essential for maximizing your efficiency.
How Event Stamina Works
- Starting Stamina: 5 Event Stamina
- Recovery Rate: 1 Event Stamina every 12 hours
- Cost Per Battle: 1 Event Stamina (only consumed if you WIN)
- Maximum Banked Stamina: 8 (5 natural + 3 from Event Hourglasses)
- Event Hourglasses: Recovers 1 Event Stamina instantly
Pro Tip: Event Stamina is only consumed when you WIN a battle. If you lose, you keep your stamina and can retry. This means you can intentionally lose on lower difficulties while completing specific battle tasks without wasting stamina. For example, you can repeatedly attempt the “Knock Out with Fighting-type Pokemon” task on Beginner difficulty by conceding before winning, allowing you to farm Event Hourglasses without consuming stamina.
Carryover Event Hourglasses
If you’ve participated in previous drop events like the Mega Pidgeot ex, Raichu ex, Zoroark, or Blissey ex events, your leftover Event Hourglasses carry over to this event! Check your inventory before the event starts—you might have more resources than you realize.
Optimal Stamina Management Strategy
Based on my calculations and testing, here’s the most efficient way to use your event stamina:
- Days 1-3: Focus on completing all first-time clear rewards across all difficulties. This gives you 20 Pack Hourglass + 4 guaranteed Promo Packs.
- Days 4-10: Farm Expert difficulty exclusively. With 100% drop rate and the highest Shop Ticket percentage, this provides maximum value per stamina point.
- Battle Task Farming: Use your Event Hourglasses to attempt battle tasks on lower difficulties. Remember, you can lose intentionally to farm specific tasks without consuming stamina.
- Final 24 Hours: Use all remaining Event Hourglasses for final Expert runs. Don’t let resources go to waste!
With natural stamina regeneration over 10 days, you’ll have approximately 20-22 battle attempts (depending on exact timing). Combined with battle task Event Hourglasses and special mission rewards, you should expect to open 30-40 Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 packs throughout the event.
Best Decks to Counter Mareep Event Lightning Decks
The Mareep Drop Event features Lightning-themed CPU opponents, meaning they’ll be running Electric-type Pokemon with Mareep, Pikachu, Magneton, and other shocking threats. Since Electric-types are weak to Fighting-types, building a Fighting-focused deck is your best strategy.
Tier S Counter Decks
1. Mega Lopunny ex + Pikachu ex Deck
This new deck from the Crimson Blaze expansion combines Fighting power with Electric support for incredible versatility.
Deck Strategy:
- Mega Lopunny ex serves as your primary Fighting attacker with devastating damage output
- Pikachu ex provides electric energy acceleration and backup damage
- The coin flip mechanic on Mega Lopunny ex can deal massive burst damage against Electric opponents
- Magnezone from the bench provides consistent 110 damage with no energy commitment
Why It’s Tier S:
- Type advantage against all Electric Pokemon (2x damage multiplier)
- Fast setup compared to pure Fighting decks
- Flexible energy requirements allow adaptation to different matchups
- Can easily complete both “Fighting-type KO” and “Mega Evolution ex” battle tasks
2. Donphan ex + Lucario Deck
A classic Fighting-type powerhouse that excels at applying early pressure.
Deck Strategy:
- Donphan ex attacks for 50 damage with just 1 Fighting energy
- Scales damage based on energy attached (can reach 170+ damage)
- Lucario provides Fighting energy acceleration through its “Stance” ability
- Hitmonlee and Marshadow offer early-game pressure and bench sniping
Why It’s Tier S:
- Incredibly consistent against Electric opponents
- Low energy requirements for early aggression
- Can complete the “no Pokemon EX” battle task by swapping Donphan ex for regular Donphan
- Excellent for farming Expert difficulty repeatedly
Tier A Counter Decks
3. Marowak ex Fighting Toolbox
A budget-friendly option that relies on coin flips but has high damage potential.
Deck Strategy:
- Marowak ex deals 80 damage per heads on 2 coin flips (0-160 damage range)
- Dugtrio provides early pressure and evasion with its 50% invulnerability chance
- Hitmonlee snipes bench Pokemon for strategic KOs
- Farfetch’d offers consistent Active Pokemon damage
Why It’s Tier A:
- Extremely F2P friendly (no premium pack requirements)
- Type advantage melts Electric Pokemon
- Fun, high-risk high-reward gameplay
- Cheap to build and effective for event farming
4. Mega Blaziken ex Fire/Fighting Hybrid
While primarily a Fire deck, Mega Blaziken ex can be modified to counter Electric opponents.
Deck Strategy:
- Mega Blaziken ex provides massive damage output with energy recycling
- Include Fighting Pokemon like Marshadow or Hitmonlee for type coverage
- Crimson Blaze cards make this viable for battle task completions
- Strong late-game presence once evolved
Why It’s Tier A:
- Completes both “Mega Evolution ex” and “Crimson Blaze” battle tasks
- Extremely powerful once set up
- Can handle both Electric and non-Electric threats
- Prepares you for future ranked battles with current meta deck
Budget-Friendly Counter Decks (F2P)
If you’re a free-to-play player without access to EX cards, these decks will still dominate the Mareep event:
Hitmonlee + Farfetch’d + Primeape
- All common/uncommon cards
- Hitmonlee’s Stretch Kick snipes bench for 30 damage
- Farfetch’d deals 40 damage for 1 Fighting energy
- Primeape provides mid-game power spike at 60 damage
Mankey + Machop Evolution Line
- Complete evolution deck using only common cards
- Machamp deals massive damage late-game
- Machop and Machoke provide early pressure
- Consistent and reliable strategy
Important Tips for Battle Success
- Prioritize Fighting Energy: Build your deck with Fighting energy focus to maximize type advantage damage
- Include X Speed: This trainer card allows you to retreat and swap attackers efficiently, crucial for completing battle tasks
- Professor’s Research is Essential: Card draw ensures you have the right Pokemon at the right time
- Don’t Over-commit to Bench: Keep your bench minimal to avoid giving opponent targets and maintain hand advantage
- Save Potions for Key Pokemon: If attempting the “win without taking damage” task, hold defensive cards for crucial moments

Should You Save Your Exchange Ticket?

Use It If:
- You’ve opened 30+ packs and still haven’t pulled Mareep Art Rare
- The event is ending in 24 hours and you want guaranteed collection
- You prefer certainty over gambling on last-minute Expert runs
Save It If:
- You’ve pulled Mareep Art Rare already (use it for a second copy if you want)
- You have multiple days left and plenty of Event Hourglasses
- You’re confident in your Expert farming ability
Warning: Some players save Exchange Tickets for “future use,” but remember this ticket expires 15 days after the event. There is NO way to use it for different promo cards or future events—it’s Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 only!
Mareep Art Rare Deck Building Guide
Now that you know how to obtain Mareep Art Rare, let’s talk about actually using it in competitive decks.

- 2x Electabuzz
Trainer Cards (8):
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Pokeball
- 2x X Speed
- 2x Potion
Strategy: This deck provides consistent Lightning pressure with dual evolution lines. Mareep evolves into Ampharos for late-game power, while Pikachu provides mid-game flexibility.
Mareep + Magnezone Hybrid

Meta Viability Assessment
Let’s be real: Mareep Art Rare isn’t going to revolutionize the January 2026 meta. Pokemon like Pikachu ex, Magnezone, and Mega Ampharos ex are simply stronger for competitive Lightning strategies. However, Mareep has value in these scenarios:
Where Mareep Excels:
- Budget/F2P decks lacking premium Lightning options
- Teaching new players about evolution mechanics
- Collection completion and aesthetic enjoyment
- Themed Lightning evolution tournaments
Where Mareep Struggles:
- High-level ranked battles against meta decks
- Fast-paced aggressive matchups requiring immediate damage
- Competing against Pikachu ex’s superior damage and consistency
My Verdict: Collect Mareep Art Rare for the collection value and stunning artwork, but build your competitive Lightning decks around Pikachu ex or Magnezone. Mareep can serve as a fun alternative or budget option, but it’s not going to carry you to the top of ranked ladder.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Mareep Drop Event start?
The Mareep Drop Event begins on January 1, 2026 at 11:30 PM PT and runs until January 11, 2026 at 11:29 AM PT, giving you 10 full days to complete battles and collect promo cards.
What is the best difficulty to farm?
Expert difficulty is the best to farm because it provides a 100% guaranteed drop rate for Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2, the highest Shop Ticket percentage (75.5%), and the most valuable first-time clear rewards. After completing first-time rewards on all difficulties, focus exclusively on Expert runs.
Can I get Mareep Art Rare without the Exchange Ticket?
Yes! With enough Expert difficulty farming, you have approximately a 95-99% chance of pulling at least one Mareep Art Rare naturally. The Exchange Ticket serves as your guaranteed safety net if RNG isn’t favorable.
Do Event Hourglasses expire after this event?
No! Event Hourglasses carry over to future drop events. Any Event Hourglasses you don’t use during the Mareep event will be available for the next drop event (expected to be Mega Latios ex in January).
What’s the weakness of Electric/Lightning-type Pokemon?
Electric and Lightning-type Pokemon are weak to Fighting-type attacks, taking 2x damage. This is why Fighting decks like Donphan ex and Mega Lopunny ex are recommended for this event.
Can I obtain Mareep Art Rare from regular packs?
During the Mareep Drop Event period, the Mareep Art Rare promo version is exclusive to Promo Pack B Series Vol. 2 from this event. However, a non-promo version of Mareep exists in the Mega Rising (Mega Altaria ex) expansion pack, though it has different artwork.
How many copies of each promo card should I aim for?
For competitive play, you’ll want 2 copies of each card (the maximum allowed in a deck). For pure collection purposes, many players aim for 1 copy of each. The Mareep Art Rare is the priority since it has the lowest pull rate at 12.66%.
What happens to my Promo Card Exchange Ticket after the event?
Your Promo Card Exchange Ticket remains usable for 15 days after the event ends (until approximately January 26, 2026). After this date, the ticket expires and disappears from your inventory. Make sure to use it before expiration!
Is this event F2P friendly?
Absolutely! You can obtain 5+ Promo Packs from special missions alone, plus 4 from first-time clears, without spending any money. Even F2P players can realistically complete 20-30 event battles using natural stamina regeneration.
Will these promo cards return in future events?
While we can’t be certain, Pokemon TCG Pocket has previously brought back older promo packs during PROMO Reissue events. However, there’s no guarantee, so it’s best to complete your collection during this event while it’s available.
Final Thoughts
After analyzing all the data, rewards, and strategies, my answer is a resounding YES—the Mareep Drop Event is absolutely worth your time and effort, whether you’re a hardcore competitive player or casual collector.
Here’s why this event stands out:
For Collectors: The Mareep Art Rare promo card features stunning alternative artwork that makes it a centerpiece for any Lightning-type collection. With only a 12.66% pull rate, obtaining this card proves you participated in Pokemon TCG Pocket’s first major event of 2026.
For Competitive Players: While Mareep itself isn’t meta-defining, the event provides valuable resources: Pack Hourglasses, Shop Tickets, Shinedust, and Player XP. These resources accelerate your progression toward competitive decks for ranked battles.
For F2P Players: This is one of the most generous events Pokemon TCG Pocket has offered. You can realistically obtain 20-30+ promo packs without spending a single dollar, making it incredibly accessible compared to gacha-based pack openings.
For Everyone: The event only requires 15-20 minutes per day to maximize value. With natural stamina regeneration, you don’t need to play for hours to complete everything—just log in, run your Expert battles, and collect your rewards.
My personal strategy involves completing all first-time rewards on Days 1-2, farming battle tasks on Days 3-5, and then running pure Expert farms until the event ends. This approach has consistently earned me complete promo sets in previous drop events, and I’m confident it’ll work for Mareep as well.
The Mareep Drop Event represents Pokemon TCG Pocket at its best: rewarding participation, providing clear progression paths, and offering exclusive content that makes your collection unique. Whether you’re chasing the meta or just enjoy collecting cute Electric sheep, this event has something valuable for you.
Don’t let this limited-time opportunity pass you by. Set your calendar reminder for January 1, 2026, build your Fighting-type counter deck, and prepare to add the Mareep Art Rare promo card to your collection. I’ll see you in the Solo Battle arena!
Happy hunting, and may your coin flips always land on heads!
