January Wonder Pick Event: Phase One

  • Duration: January 6-20
  • Event Type: Wonder Pick
  • Highlight Rewards: Promo-A Squirtle & Charmander

This RNG-based event gives players chances to obtain either the Charmander (P-A 032) or Squirtle (P-A 033) promotional cards. Running January 6-20, 2025 (local time), Phase One spans two weeks of collectible excitement.

Acquiring Promo-A Squirtle & Charmander

Throughout both event phases, players encounter Bonus and Rare Wonder Picks with varying odds for the promotional cards.

Bonus Wonder Picks

These free opportunities may award either Promo-A card (or their standard versions) alongside Wonder Hourglasses or Event Tickets. Data suggests each event pick carries a 20% chance of being a Bonus Pick.

Rare Wonder Picks

With a 2.5% appearance rate, Rare Picks guarantee one promotional card drop. Card distribution varies (25-80% odds per slot), potentially featuring 1-4 copies of either Squirtle or Charmander.
