Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex is available through two routes during the October 2026 Drop Event: pull Promo-B 099 from Promo Pack B Series Vol. 13, or use the guaranteed Promo Card Exchange Ticket earned after participating in 10 event battles.
The random route can give you Mega Garchomp ex much sooner, especially if you farm Expert where every win guarantees a promo pack. The exchange ticket gives you a guaranteed fallback. If the card still has not appeared after your packs are opened, you can spend the ticket directly on Mega Garchomp ex before the event shop closes.
Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex: how to get Promo-B 099
The random route is Promo Pack B Series Vol. 13. Those packs are earned from the Mega Garchomp ex Drop Event Solo Battles, which run from October 15 until October 25, 2026.
Each promo pack contains one card from a five-card pool: Falinks 096/P-B, Gible 097/P-B, Gabite 098/P-B, Mega Garchomp ex 099/P-B or Delcatty 100/P-B. The event confirms the pool, but there is no official individual pull percentage for Mega Garchomp ex, so a five-card set should not be treated as proof of a 20% pull rate.
Best battle to farm Mega Garchomp ex
Expert is the fastest repeatable way to farm Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex once you have a deck that can clear it consistently. A win on Expert guarantees one Promo Pack B Series Vol. 13, while lower difficulties only have a chance to drop one.
| Battle difficulty | Promo Pack B Series Vol. 13 chance |
|---|---|
| Beginner | 51% |
| Intermediate | 64% |
| Advanced | 80% |
| Expert | 100% |
Clear every difficulty at least once before settling into Expert. Each first clear awards a promo pack as well as Pack Hourglasses, XP and a Shop Ticket, so skipping the easier battles would leave guaranteed packs on the table.
How to guarantee Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex with the exchange ticket
The guaranteed route to Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex is the event’s Promo Card Exchange Ticket. Participate in 10 battles and one of the event missions awards a single ticket.
The event shop lets you trade that ticket for one of the five Promo-B Vol. 13 cards, including Mega Garchomp ex 099/P-B. You only receive one ticket from the participation mission, so open your promo packs first and use the ticket on whichever card is still missing. If Mega Garchomp ex refuses to drop, spend it there.
Mega Garchomp ex event and exchange deadlines
The Drop Event Solo Battles for Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex end on October 25, 2026 at 6:00 UTC. In the UK, that is 6 a.m. GMT on October 25 because the clocks change that morning.
The exchange shop stays open longer, through November 1, 2026. That gives you time after the battles close to spend an already-earned Promo Card Exchange Ticket, but you need to complete the 10-battle mission while the Drop Event itself is still active.
Mega Garchomp ex card stats and Falling Edge
| Card detail | Mega Garchomp ex Promo-B 099 |
|---|---|
| Type | Dragon |
| Stage | Stage 2 Mega Evolution Pokémon ex |
| HP | 220 |
| Attack | Falling Edge |
| Energy cost | 1 Water, 1 Fighting, 1 Colorless |
| Damage | 190 |
| Attack effect | Discard 2 random Energy from Mega Garchomp ex |
| Retreat cost | 2 Colorless |
Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex is a heavy hitter, but Falling Edge asks you to keep rebuilding its Energy after each attack. At 190 damage it can remove a lot of opposing Pokémon in one hit, while the 220 HP gives it room to survive attacks that would flatten smaller attackers.
There is also real risk in putting it on the board. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex use the three-point knockout rule in Pokémon TCG Pocket, so losing Mega Garchomp ex ends the game immediately. Building around its Energy recovery and choosing the right moment to expose it matters as much as the 190 damage.
Can you get Mega Garchomp ex from normal booster packs?
No. Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex Promo-B 099 is an event promo card from Promo Pack B Series Vol. 13. Opening regular Deluxe Pack: Mega boosters is not the route to this specific promo.
That makes the October Drop Event the window to collect it. The random promo packs give you repeated chances, while the 10-battle exchange ticket guarantees one direct pick if Mega Garchomp ex still has not appeared.
Fastest Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex farming route
If Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Garchomp ex is your only target, clear all four difficulties once for their guaranteed packs, then farm Expert. Keep going until you have participated in 10 battles, claim the Promo Card Exchange Ticket and check your collection before spending it.
If Mega Garchomp ex has already dropped, the ticket can fill another missing promo instead. If it has not, exchange the ticket for Promo-B 099 and your collection no longer depends on another random pack.
