At the heart of the Genetic Apex Emblem Event lies the quest to unlock unique Emblems. Players can earn these special Emblems by triumphing in online battles against their peers. Once obtained, these Emblems can be showcased on player profiles for friends and rivals to view.

Beyond Emblems, players will also have opportunities to collect Shinedust and other valuable resources, enhancing their card-collecting journey.

The highlight reward of the Genetic Apex Emblem Event is undoubtedly the 24 Pack Hourglass drops. These items accelerate the time required to open essential packs, including Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Charizard, allowing players to build their collections more quickly.

We strongly encourage all players to participate in at least five online matches to unlock the full roster of 24 Pack Hourglass rewards. While the Shinedust rewards add cosmetic flair, they are less critical to your progress.
