The best reward from the Genetic Apex Emblem event is the 24 Pack Hourglass drops. These enable you to speed up the time needed to open the Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Charizard packs. Essentially, you’ll be able to get more cards in a shorter amount of time.

Because of this,we recommend that all players participate in five online matches. Doing so will enable you to unlock all 24 Pack Hourglass rewards. The Shinedust rewards aren’t particularly important, as they only addFlair (cosmetic change)to your existing cards.
