How to Get Bulbasaur & Magnemite in Wonder Pick Event Part 1

how to get promo-a cards of the wonder pick event in pokemon tcg pocket.

You can obtain the Promo-A Bulbasaur and Magnemite through two methods: Bonus Picks and Chansey Picks. Both activities are accessible in the “Wonder Pick” section of the game throughout the event.

Bonus Picks

A Bonus Pick is a free Wonder Pick with a 25% chance to reward the Promo-A Bulbasaur or Magnemite. The remaining four slots in the pick contain Event Tickets and Wonder Pick Hourglasses. However, Bulbasaur and Magnemite obtained through this activity may also be regular variants, not the Promo-A versions.

In my testing, I was able to use a Rewind Watch on my first Bonus Pick of the event, and the second card I drew was a Promo-A Bulbasaur, while the first was the regular variant. I haven’t been able to replicate this since, so I assume it was a glitch.

Chansey Picks

A Chansey Pick is a boosted Wonder Pick with guaranteed Promo-A card drops. Each pick costs two Wonder Stamina and offers a 25% to 80% chance of giving you either Bulbasaur PA-23 or Magnemite PA-24. The card distribution can vary in each pick, such as one Bulbasaur paired with four Magnemites or vice versa. What’s guaranteed is that both cards will be included.

Chansey Picks cost two Wonder Stamina, despite the Promo-A cards being one-Diamond, because Promo-A cards like Bulbasaur and Magnemite are considered Holographic variants.

Frequency of Chansey and Bonus Picks Appearance

Some unconfirmed data-mined information suggests that Bonus and Chansey Picks in the Wonder Pick Event Part 1 refresh with every public update, which is believed to occur every 30 minutes to an hour. Each refreshed Wonder Pick is said to have a 20% chance of containing a Bonus Pick and a 2.5% chance of featuring a Chansey Pick.

Wonder Pick Event Part 2 Date & Details

Similar to Meowth and Chansey’s Wonder Pick Event, the Bulbasaur and Magnemite event will have a second part starting midway. This portion will introduce a new set of missions and add more thematic accessories to the Event Shop.

Start and End Dates (Part 2)

The second part of the Bulbasaur and Magnemite Event will begin on December 13, one week after the initial start, and will run until December 20.

Rewards (Part 2)

The Venusaur-themed icon, coin, playmat, and card sleeve will become available at the Event Shop as the primary rewards of Wonder Pick Event Part 2.

Tips for Making the Most of the Wonder Pick Event

To maximize your gains from Pocket TCG Pocket’s new event, keep these tips in mind:

  • Don’t waste Wonder Stamina on Chansey Picks. Bonus Picks are free and provide enough chances to pull both new Promo-A cards and earn Event Tickets for the exclusive accessories. Save your Wonder Stamina for the final days of the event, especially if you haven’t been lucky with the cards.
  • Hold onto your Event Tickets. Wait for Part 2 of the event to start before spending them. The second part will introduce four new items, costing a total of 21 Event Tickets. Since the first half requires nine, you’ll need 31 Tickets to unlock all Venusaur-themed accessories.
  • Check Wonder Picks every hour. It’s worth returning to the game regularly to see if Bonus or Chansey Picks are available.
