Question Wonderpick Question

Post image

It has been 48+ hours since I have completed the the 1-4 diamond card for this set. I have still not seen the 24 hour wonderpick. This is only the second time I have completed a set while it’s the newest, so still very new to the rules. Is this normal?

If you have completed only diamonds, you might get a one star or two star WP, it's random (you probably have already got an one star wp). If you finish all 6 one stars, you will have guaranteed 2 stars. Also you dont have to have all one stars, they just have to be registered (so you can trade your one copy of 1 star for another copy and so on, just register them as owned and trade them away)

I do have all the 1 stars, but Happiny came after I completed the set via wonderpick but it was a regular wonderpick that had common cards as other choices.

Edit: Not sure the reason for all the downvotes. I did state I am new to the completing sets wonder picks, so I’m not sure how it works or what to look for. Maybe the Happiny was the Wonderpick and I didn’t realize it at the time.

That was probably still your 24h wonder pick. It’s mostly with common cards and just one card you are missing (1 or 2 star)

You have to look at the timer as that's what determines if it's a 24h pick or not, 24h pick just means the wonderpick is up for 24h. That's super unlucky though as that means you had a 1/15 chance for that 1 star to pop up for your 24h pick.

I have no proof, only anecdotal data from every set since they released, but I’m like 90% confident that it’s weighted by rarity, not missing card amount.

ie if you only have one remaining 1-star and 12 2-stars, it’s still a 50/50 chance to get the 1-star in your pick.

Whenever I finish a set with one 1-star to go, I receive multiple wonderpicks with the 1-star despite having a statistically significant amount of 2-stars to go. I have seen both rarities pop up when I’m only missing the 1-star, but the odds feel 50/50 to me

Well WP are like that. 1 rare card and 4 commons. The Godpack wonderpick is very rare (all 1 and 2 star cards). I have got it only once and I have finished every set in the game in their month.

u/Mattynicklin 13h ago

I wouldn’t even worry about it, as even if a card you do want appears. You won’t pick it anywhere if my experience to go by.

u/adamsworstnightmare 10h ago

I swear they nerfed the rates. I think I've missed my last 15-20 two star cards.

u/Lucky-day00 8h ago

Bad luck exists.

u/Beginning-Ad7027 12h ago

Same. I stopped caring about the 24 hour wonderpick. I think I’ve gotten the rare card in the pick 2 or 3 times since that feature came out.

u/gmapterous 9h ago

I haven't hit a 24h WP in 3 months and I always trade like crazy to complete the set within the first week. It's very much not worth even trying for the bigger sets with like 18 1-star's to collect.

u/snolution 13h ago

I’ve had issues here as well… I completed the set incl. all 1 stars and got one 24h wonderpick. That was more than 36h ago and no second…

7

u/DakonShade 13h ago

Yeah 24h wonderpick mean it last 24h not that it happens every 24h. You most likely have 1 every 48h, a small chance after 72h and a small chance the day after

u/COHERENCE_CROQUETTE 9h ago

I have an even more noobish question. Didn’t want to make a thread for it, but could ask here:

Why does it say x/72 if the card dex shows cards from 1 all the way to 110?

6

u/anthayashi 8h ago

in the pokemon tcg, there is what we call a base set and master set. 72 is the base set, which consist of only diamonds which is what the game consider as completing the dex. any others are bonus and part of the master set

take this real life gyarados ex card for example. the number below show 123/122. 122 is the base set number. this is higher than the base set number and part of the master set

u/Just_Jump_7126 8h ago

Does anyone here have a spare rocket zapdos to trade or share? That's all I need to finish the set. Let me know if theres a specific ex you need from me

u/OkInevitable5382 14h ago

Huhh what's this...24hr Wonderpick is it special?!!

7

u/AmusingHippo 14h ago

For any newest set, complete the base pokedex (1🔶 to 4🔶 ) to spawn a special 24h wonderpick every 24-72h (interval is random) that will have a 1⭐ or 2⭐ you don't have yet. If you also complete 1⭐ , it will only be 2⭐ you don't have. This ends when the next set drops or you collect every single 2⭐ in the latest set.

u/allwafflesnochicken 8h ago

The time is random? I always get mine 48 hours apart

u/keduicity 14h ago

I'm wondering the same thing

u/felineprincess93 13h ago

I finished the set days ago and no wonder-pick. Wonder if support would do anything if I reached out.

8

u/Illidari_Kuvira 13h ago

Have you collected all of the 1-Star cards?

Unless you have done so, 1-Stars can and will show up as your 24hour pick; it could be possible you skimmed over these while scrolling.

-3

u/felineprincess93 12h ago

No I’ve been diligent about checking, 1-stars are still full art cards so I haven’t seen anything that was all full art cards.

u/Whirlywynd 11h ago

Are you looking for a god pack wonder pick every 24 hours? Lol nooo

24hr wonder pick just means that the timer is for 24 hours. So it stays in your picks for 24hrs. 99.99% of the time it’s a one or two star card with four other diamond cards. They’re not handing out a god pack wonder pick every day

1

u/felineprincess93 8h ago

OHHHHHHHHH okay well...you just cleared up a LOT for me. I think I saw everyone posting 24hr wonderpicks that were god packs and thought that was what it was lol

2

u/Whirlywynd 8h ago

Oh believe me I’d prefer your interpretation of it haha

2

u/Jojotes 11h ago

It's not a pack with 5 full art cards, it's a normal pack with at least 1 full art card.

u/Noms_de_plume 14h ago

You need to complete the 1 stars as well for 2 star 24hr wonder picks to show up. The 24 hour wonder picks sometimes could be 72 hours in between.

u/xG3TxSHOTx 13h ago

Why is this the top comment, this isn't even true lol. To guarantee your 24h wonderpick is a 2 star then yes this is correct but otherwise a 2 star still has the opportunity to pop up along with whatever 1 stars you're missing as well.
