Pokémon TCG Pocket Adds New Rewards and Missions to Wonder Pick Event

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket players can now participate in the Wonder Pick Event Part 2, which adds new rewards and missions to the game today, November 8.

This second half of the event, which offers players a free Wonder Pick with the chance of pulling either a Meowth or Chansey alongside event tickets and Wonder Hourglasses, runs until November 15. It's unclear if there will be a Part 3 or if this will wrap up Pokémon TCG Pocket's first Wonder Pick event.

The selection of missions is simpler than Part 1's, with players not required to pull a certain number of Chansey or Meowth but instead just Wonder Pick a certain number of times and collect a certain number of Colorless cards.

As for the new goodies on offer, players can now use event tickets to unlock a variety of Meowth themed items including card sleeves, a playmat, coin, and icon. 50 Shinedust is also on offer, and event tickets from Part 1 can still be used.

Pokémon TCG Pocket arrived in October as a streamlined, digital version of the beloved trading card game. It has players opening packs, collecting cards, building decks, and battling others; a simple formula that's already proved popular given it made $12 million in four days.

Developer Creatures Inc. is busy adding all sorts of events to the game, including not just this Wonder Pick continuation but a solo battle event focused on Lapras and a player versus player battle event too.

This isn't quite a full competitive mode for Pokémon TCG Pocket but is certainly a step in that direction, and will be the first proper competitive test of which decks are best, with both Mewtwo ex and Charizard ex having dominated so far.

On the collecting front, some players are focused on a conspiracy theory about crinkled corners while most are swooning over mythical god packs that award five alternate art cards in one go. There's also a secret Mew card hidden in the game that's not super difficult to get.
