How to Get the Limited-Time Event-Exclusive Flair
During the Lightning Mass Outbreak event, you can purchase an exclusive Flair called “Star Outlines.” This Flair is available only for Zapdos ex and can be found under the “Obtain Flair” tab for any of your Zapdos ex cards. However, there are two prerequisites to acquire this cosmetic:
- You must have at least three copies of Zapdos ex, as the Flair will consume one copy.
- You need enough Shinedust to cover the exchange. Most exclusive Flairs cost around 700 to 800 Shinedust.
The Star Outline Flair is a Battle cosmetic. It appears on the board when Zapdos ex is in play.
Tips for Making the Most of the Mass Outbreak Event
Mass Outbreak events are simple, but these tips can help you get the most out of them:
- Log in every hour. Wonder Pick offers will likely show up every hour, so regularly checking in increases your chances of getting more free and rare pulls.
- Don’t waste your Wonder Stamina. Rare Picks aren’t worth it unless there’s a Lightning-Type Pokemon you really want. If you already have a solid Lightning deck, it’s best to save your Wonder Stamina for other uses.
- Wishlist your missing Lightning Pokemon. To focus your hunt, wishlist the specific cards you need in your Pokedex. This way, you’ll know exactly which Wonder Picks are worth your time and resources.
