Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket players can now take part in the second Wonder Pick event, which adds fresh rewards and missions to the game today, November 8.
This second half of the event, during which players can choose a free Miracle Pick with a chance to draw a Meowth or Chansey along with event tickets and Miracle Hourglasses, will last until November 15. It’s unclear if there will be a part 3 or if it will end. the first Wonder Pick event in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
Mission selection is simpler than in Part 1, with players not having to draw a specific number of Chansey or Meowth, but instead simply select Wonder Pick a specific number of times and collect a specific number of colorless cards.
In terms of fresh merchandise, players can now redeem event tickets to unlock a variety of Meowth-themed items, including card sleeves, a game board, a coin, and an icon. 50 Shinedust is also on offer and tickets to the Part 1 event are still redeemable.
Pokémon TCG Pocket launched in October as a streamlined, digital version of the beloved card game. Players open packs, collect cards, build decks and battle others; a plain formula that has already proven popular, considering it grossed $12 million in four days.
Developer Creatures Inc. is busy adding all kinds of events to the game, including not only a sequel to Wonder Pick, but also a Lapras-focused solo battle event and a player-versus-player battle event.
It’s not a full competitive mode for Pokémon TCG Pocket, but it’s certainly a step in that direction and will be the first real competitive test of which decks are the best, with both ex-Mewtwo and ex-Charizard dominating so far.
When it comes to collecting, some players focus on the ruffled horns conspiracy theory, while most swoon over the mythical god packs that give you five alternate graphics cards in one go. There is also a secret Mew card hidden in the game, which is not too tough to obtain.
