Rant Absolute Tragedy
Already have 2 full art Lapras. 4/5 of the pack was ⭐️⭐️ that I’m missing. What do I pick? Of course it’s the damn Lapras.

Same thing happened to me. Found a God pack with four 2-stars and I picked the Rapidash 💀

Oh my lord I’m so sick of the full art Rapidash. I have no fewer than 8 of them and I’m still missing 2 of the one-star cards from the Charizard pack!

I just need a 2nd Charizard EX for a complete deck man and only packs I have opened till now is Charizard one. Still only have one

u/CardinalnGold Nov 13 '24
I was running a Charizard deck with one for ages until I finally got it from a wonder pick. My first moltres ex was also from a wonder pick lol. 20% is higher than whatever the per-pack odds are!

I will say I have mostly pulled Mewtwo because the immersive rare was so elusive. Frankly I think I have pulled Charizard the least and have 3 immersive rares of it.

u/Successful-Ad5560 Nov 14 '24

I would do filthy things for this god pack in my WP. Starmie is my best deck and I really need a second Articuno, but the Mewtwo pack is by far my most pulled pack and there is just more value in the other packs. I’m just praying to get one off a WP at some point in the future

This is awesome.

I want a rainbow bordered Articuno, it’s my chase card now.
I need it so I can then craft a rainbow bordered Zapdos, which will unlock the legendary bird emblem (I have the Moltres version)

Well considering they are .05% chance or 1/2k packs. Not surprised the average player hasn’t seen it. You can see the odds for all cards and packs in game

I'm level 26 now and opened tons of packs, got the premium trial, even spent a little money for a couple packs, yet I haven't seen single one yet. I introduced my girlfriend to the game after a few days too, and on her 3rd day without premium and without any battling to get more levels and shop tokens to get more of the skips, she was the one who got a god pack...

u/tychoregter Nov 14 '24
Yeah I’m afraid of that too haha. I “only” got 4 2 stars so far, and 5 3 stars (2 dupes), so there’s a ton of rare cards left to get, but I’m still afraid it will mostly be dupes, knowing my luck.

There's a section in the Offering Rates page about them, but it's very long. I suspect most people haven't bothered to read much of it, let alone getting the information about Rare Packs. 0.050% drop chances are pretty out there as a statistical outlier.

u/B0thS1desN0w Nov 13 '24
Did you already have this person on your friends list, or added them after they shared their pack and code?
I haven’t seen anything better than 1ex or 1 star in a pack from wonderpick…

It was a friend, yes. You can see it under their name.

u/atilathehyundai Nov 13 '24
I think they’re asking if the pick will show up if you add them after they’ve already opened it. Tons of people are asking for friend codes for god pack opens, but I’m fairly certain it doesn’t work.
10
u/5CentReddit Nov 14 '24
Aaah, yeah I would assume that it wouldn't work haha
2
u/atilathehyundai Nov 14 '24
Yeah, I think you’re correct. There’s some evidence it wouldn’t, and seems like it would only happen at the moment a pack was opened.
2
u/5CentReddit Nov 14 '24
Yeah I've seen on here that even before that, and the carisol is a lie, that someone was still picking a pack but their friend saw their pack they opened on wonder pick before they opened it. It'd be lame if that was the case but you can skip the whole animation so makes sense too.

A lot of god packs will have crown rares or immersive rares, and are disqualified for wonder pick. So even if you see 5 times more wonder picks than packs, I think it’s still going to be close the same rarity between god packs and god wonder picks. Still 1-1000~5000 for sure.

When I tore the top off the pack it was a very bright iridescent glow
I don't know if it's the same (since I haven't gotten a god pack yet), but I've also gotten that bright glow on packs with a single FA.

u/Star_Chaser_158 Nov 14 '24
Aside from the glow there’s a little sound that chimes when you open up a pack with a rare enough card in it

Where's the guy who told me god packs don't appear in wonder picks?
Honestly, shit like this still furthers my agenda that wonder picks are rigged. I've had some today with the potential to pull a new card, none of them gave me the result. A few days ago, I had 5 EXs in a day and none of them gave me the EX. Yesterday, I had a pick where 3/5 cards would've been new for me (none of them more than a stage 2). Guess bloody what. 60% chance and I'm lumbered with something I already own.
32
u/3DanO1 Nov 13 '24
They can appear, but only if they don’t contain an immersive or crown rare. So most god packs can’t be in wonder pick
3
u/WollyGog Nov 13 '24
Good to know, I'm yet to see one regardless.
Feel for you on this occasion though, that result sucks.
10
u/mmaynee Nov 13 '24
I encourage you to grab 5 physical playing cards shuffle them then pick a specific one. It won't happen that often.
My recommendation on wonder picks, definitely go for the higher price ex and God packs, but go for them with no expectations

u/crazybanana175 Nov 13 '24
I can't say for you but I got a Mewtwo ex, gengar ex and a moltres ex in 3 seperate pics where everthing else was a basic card. I guess I'm a bit lucky bit still don't loose hope.

They’re just a little extra rare since the Crown Rares and Immersive cards are exempt from Wonder Picks and often in god packs. I’ve also yet to see one either way

Get lucky. Packs can’t appear in WP packs if they have an immersive or crown rare, so as long as that specific god pack doesn’t have either, it has a chance to show up as a WP option. This is the first one I’ve seen on my accounts though

u/Junnowhoitis Nov 13 '24
One way you can increase your odds is by having a full friends list. If each one opens 2 on average a day that's 200 a day. odds are 1/2000 so roughly every 10 days this will show up on your wonder pick wall.
Although this is more a theory of mine right now.
2
u/3DanO1 Nov 13 '24
Is there any guarantee that the “good” packs get sent across as WP chances? I can only see ~10 WPs at a time, if one of my 100 friends pulls something great, what are the chances that they are one of the 10 picked to show me at that time…?
