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 RNG-based activity in Pokemon Pocket, offering players a chance to obtain one of the two new Promo-A cards: Charmander (P-A 032) and Squirtle (P-A 033). The first part of the event spans two weeks, starting on January 6, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. and ending on January 20, 2025, at 9:59 p.m. local time.

How to Get the Promo-A Squirtle and Charmander

During both parts of the Wonder Pick Event, you can participate in Bonus and Rare Wonder Picks, each with different drop rates for the Promo-A Vol.3 Squirtle and Charmander.

Bonus Wonder Picks

Bonus Wonder Picks are free offers that 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 Bonus Wonder Picks during the event isn't confirmed, data-mined calculations suggest a 20.00% chance of encountering a Bonus Pick whenever an event pick appears.

Rare Wonder Picks

Rare Picks have a 2.50% chance of appearing during the event. When they do, they guarantee one of the two featured Promo-A cards. The distribution of the cards in each Rare Pick is RNG-based, with each card (Squirtle and Charmander) potentially occupying one to four slots, resulting in odds ranging from 25% to 80%.

Wonder Pick Event Part 1 Missions and Rewards

In January's Wonder Pick Event Part 1, you can complete five basic missions to earn Event Shop Tickets (Blastoise). These tickets can be spent 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 essential 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. According to data-mined information, you'll need a total of 31 tickets to purchase all Part 1 & 2 items.
  • You won't receive notifications for Rare and Bonus Picks. It's advisable 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.
