On top of these new cards and accessories, the Wonder Pick Event also includesa series of missions to help you earn more Event Shop Tickets, which are redeemable for the event binder cover and backdrops.
The event runsfrom July 22, 2025 until May 08, 2025,with part two starting on November 8th and ending on November 14th.
What Are Chansey Picks And Bonus Picks?
Whenever Wonder Picks reset, there’sa chance that they’ll be a Chansey Pick or a Bonus Pick instead. These arenot guaranteed to appear, so you may go several cycles without seeing either.
These special picks can show up in the Expired section, so make sure you scroll all the way down.
Chansey Picks are special Wonder Pick packs that featurefive promotional cards instead of five randomized ones. These promos will be a mix of Chansey and Meowth, but either way, you’re guaranteed to get a promo card from the pack. Chansey Pickscost two Wonder Staminato pick from.
