The Best Deck for the Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1
Withthree archetypes dominatingPocket’s PvP metagame, the best decks for December’s Emblem Event are Mewtwo ex, Pikachu ex, and Articuno ex. To minimize RNG, it’s wise to avoid counterdecks like Marowak ex. Your chances improve by using a mirror strategy—playing the same deck as your opponent.
If you don’t have one of the top three decks (Mewtwo ex, Pikachu ex, Articuno ex), considerusing a META Charizard ex deck. While not ideal against the top-tier decks, its lower RNG gives you a better shot at winning against other META decks.
How to Equip the Emblems You Earn From the Event
Emblems are purely cosmeticand don’t affect gameplay. However, your opponents will see your equipped Emblems at the start of the match, giving you a chance to taunt them before the game even begins.
