Today marks the start of the Genetic Apex Emblem Event 1, the first major competitive event following the game's full launch.

Running from November 7 to November 28, 2024, this event focuses on player-versus-player battles, challenging players to compete against real opponents.

The Emblem Event serves as an early test for deck performance, with popular cards like Mewtwo ex and Charizard ex currently dominating the competitive scene.

To earn wins towards the event, players must select a specific battle mode, which also awards standard experience points for victories.

In addition to standard XP, players can earn extra experience points for participating in matches, further incentivizing engagement.

Pokémon TCG Pocket, a digital adaptation of the traditional trading card game, launched in October 2024, allowing players to open packs, collect cards, and build decks.

The game quickly gained traction, generating $12 million in revenue within its first four days, highlighting its popularity among players.

Participants can earn four unique emblems by winning live versus battles, enhancing the competitive experience.

This event is particularly challenging, as it requires skill and strategy rather than relying on luck or easy wins.

Rewards for the event include various emblems, pack hourglasses, and Shinedust, which players can earn based on their performance in matches.

Completing all event tasks allows players to earn up to 2000 Shinedust and 18 pack hourglasses, adding to the excitement of the competition.

For those looking to enhance their competitive play, a guide on adding friends in Pokémon TCG Pocket is available to facilitate matchmaking.
