After several months of its presence, the mobile platform for virtual Pokémon TCG as TCGP continues to pique interest among its players. This is accomplished in part through its regular events, which by now has also settled to a structure of its own. That structure is made up of a few distinct event types, which also have their own rewards that are given out regularly. Such regularity demands at least a little bit of discussion, and that becomes the point of this post.
One kind is a "Card Drop" event, where players have to battle against the CPU (and of course, win) in order to obtain rewards, the ultimate of these being a pack containing a signature Promo card; this will usually involve winning an event battle at the highest level, and lower levels will reward other cards instead. Items are also given along with the packs, so there are incentives for partaking in the event, for the special Promo card or otherwise.
Sometimes, there are also Wonder Pick events, which utilize the special picks to furnish some special cards, notably Promo ones with the Chansey emblem and those accordingly through the Chansey Pick as well. Iterations of this event also have an event shop associated with it, which has some nifty accessories that can be gained by exchanging its shop tickets with said goodies. The wonder can be said to be doubled up, in a way.
Mass Outbreak events are similar to the Wonder Pick events, except that they're focused on existing cards from the expansions and are thematic in nature (for example, Metal type or Ultra Beasts). Players can still open up packs and utilize Wonder Picks to obtain the theme cards, and while its associated missions only give out regular shop tickets, partaking in the event is still a useful way to obtain the thematic cards and tickets in question.
Events in TCGP since its inception have mostly fallen into these three types, but they've been able to extend the world of cards introduced with the expansions and bring a few more special things while keeping players active in a regular fashion. The expansions, both old and new, are still the primary draw and the "meat" for the actual battle gameplay, but the special things add embellishment that players may just be interested in for all their efforts.
