Pokemon Pocket is thrilled to unveil its third Wonder Pick Event, introducing two new Promo-A variants: Charmander (P-A 032) and Squirtle (P-A 033). These cards maintain their original moves and stats but boast fresh, eye-catching artwork.

During the event, you'll have the chance to complete tasks and missions to earn coveted shop tickets. These tickets can then be used to snag new thematic accessories that add a splash of style to your collection. Let's dive into the details of Pocket's January 2025 Wonder Pick Event.

January Wonder Pick Event Part 1 Details

- Start Date: January 6

  • End Date: January 20
  • Event Type: Wonder Pick
  • Featured Rewards: Squirtle (P-A) and Charmander (P-A)

January's Wonder Pick Event is an exciting RNG-based activity in Pokemon Pocket, offering players a shot at securing one of the two new Promo-A cards: Charmander (P-A 032) and Squirtle (P-A 033). The event's first part runs for two exhilarating weeks, from January 6, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. to January 20, 2025, at 9:59 p.m. local time.

How to Get the Promo-A Squirtle and Charmander

During Wonder Pick Event Parts 1 & 2, you can dive into Bonus and Rare Wonder Picks, each offering different drop rates for the coveted Promo-A Vol.3 Squirtle and Charmander.

Bonus Wonder Picks

Bonus Wonder Picks are free offers that could include one of the two Promo-A cards (or their regular variants) along with four slots of either Wonder Hourglasses or Event Ticket Shops. While the frequency of these picks during the event isn't set in stone, data-mined calculations hint at a 20.00% chance for a Bonus Pick each time an event pick appears.

Rare Wonder Picks

Rare Picks have a 2.50% chance of appearing during the event. When they do, they're guaranteed to reward you with one of the two featured Promo-A cards. The distribution of the cards in each Rare Pick is RNG-based, but each card (Squirtle and Charmander) can occupy one to four slots, making your odds range from 25% to 80%.

Wonder Pick Event Part 1 Missions and Rewards

In January's Wonder Pick Event Part 1, you can tackle five basic missions to earn Event Shop Tickets (Blastoise). These tickets can then be used in the shop's "Limited-Time / Events" section to purchase new thematic accessories.

Tips and Things to Know About Wonder Pick Events

Here are some handy tips to keep in mind:

  • Your tickets will carry over. Event Shop Tickets will remain in your inventory until January 29, giving you a few extra days after the event ends to decide which limited-time accessory to buy. (If the data-mined information is correct, you'll need a total of 31 tickets to purchase all Part 1 & 2 items.)
  • No notifications for Rare and Bonus Picks. It's wise to log in every 30 minutes to an hour to check if you've received any, as the game won’t notify you while you're offline.
  • All Wonder Picks count toward the event missions. You don't need to spend your Wonder Pick Stamina on event offerings. Any pick during the event will contribute to your mission progress.
  • Avoid wasting resources on Rare Picks. Focus on pulling Promo-A cards from the free Bonus Picks and only invest in Rare Picks if the event is nearing its end and you're missing the P-A variants.
