Tips
Scout teams before the window opens. Magic Renewal's balance shifts changed how often Pollution Bloodline recalls are used, so expect shifted meta compositions.
Pair Starlight Showdown with the World Observation Notes capture sub-event to clear both on the same days.
Save your best Prism Balls from Starlight Roaming weekly bundles for targets you plan to use in Showdown, not general capture runs.
