Understanding Wonder Picks in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Quick Links

Pokémon TCG Pocket focuses on collecting rare cards to create the ultimate deck for competitive battles. As you collect cards, you’ll unlock additional rental decks. With the Wonder Pick feature, you have more chances to expand your collection.

If you’re not happy with the cards you received in your daily Booster Pack, Wonder Pick allows you to select from cards that other players have opened. This offers a great opportunity to snag some exceptional Supporter, Trainer, and high-rarity cards. However, there are a few limitations you should be aware of.

What Are Wonder Picks?

Wonder Pick is a feature in Pokémon TCG Pocket that gives players access to more cards for their collection. If your free daily packs didn’t yield the card you desired, it’s wise to explore the Wonder Pick option in the Home menu of the game.

In this section, you can see cards acquired by others, and you have a chance to get one of the five cards they received from their Booster Pack. You can use Wonder Stamina to make a Wonder Pick, so be sure to save it for when you really want a card.

Keep in mind: Higher rarity cards will require more Wonder Stamina. Additionally, three gold star Pokémon, which have a rare chance to appear in Booster Packs, are not available through Wonder Pick.

Wonder Pick refreshes every few hours, so it’s a good idea to keep checking for more valuable cards at random intervals. If you miss a chance to grab a card you wanted, you can use a Rewind Watch with your Wonder Stamina to select a card from that pack.

How to Recover Wonder Stamina

There are several ways to quickly regain Wonder Stamina in Pokémon TCG Pocket. You can hold five Wonder Stamina charges and three extra slots to store additional Stamina.

Automatic Recovery

You will regain one Wonder Stamina after a waiting period of 12 hours, allowing you to earn two picks in a single day. If you’ve exhausted your resources, your only option is to wait.

Using Poke Gold

If waiting isn’t an option—especially if you’ve spotted a must-have card in Wonder Pick—you can spend some money to buy Poke Gold to replenish your Wonder Stamina. You can also earn Poke Gold for free through in-game rewards.

Using a Wonder Hourglass

To recover one Wonder Stamina, you will need 12 Wonder Hourglass. This method is an efficient way to gain Stamina without a lengthy wait, and it doesn’t require much money. You can earn Wonder Hourglass by completing Beginner Missions, obtaining a Premium Pass, and collecting Daily Gifts.

Note: You can also purchase Wonder Hourglass from the shop using Tickets.
