Pokemon TCG Pocket events are coming thick and fast with special Promo-A cards to secure and in this case, fancy Emblems to add to your profile.
What we’re alluding to here is the Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 which, for you keen battlers out there, will be rubbing your hands together.
Below, we’ll run you through this event, explaining what rewards are on offer and the associated missions.
What is the Pokemon TCG Pocket Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1?
The Pokemon TCG Pocket Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 is the second Emblem Event we’ve seen so far since launch.
This one runs between December 9 and December 16 and instead of simple card collecting or solo battling, this, like the one before it, is solely focused on versus battles with other Trainers around the world.
In the previous Emblem Event, this variant required you to win battles in order to make it through the different tiers, rewarding you with more prestigious Emblems.
It didn’t matter how many of these wins you got in a row, you could accumulate these throughout the whole period.
In this Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 though, you will have to win consecutive battles to make it through the tiers.
Here is the number of consecutive wins you need for each Emblem:
2 consecutive wins – Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 Participation Emblem
3 consecutive wins – Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 Bronze Emblem
4 consecutive wins – Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 Silver Emblem
5 consecutive wins – Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 Gold Emblem
Alongside the Emblems, there are event-specific Missions which task you with general wins and simply participating so that if you don’t manage to go on consecutive streaks, you’ll still be rewarded.
For completing these missions, you’ll be given Shinedust and Pack Hourglasses, so definitely worth trying your hand and some battles just to up your stores of each.

It’s payback time for all those blue screens of death, Your PC may have always thought it had the upper hand in your relationship – able to make you lose work in a heartbeat, force you to restart a level because of an out of-memory error, and we won’t talk about that time with your browser history.
