The Wonder Pick system makes for simultaneously one of the best and most frustrating mechanics ofPokémon TCG Pocket, making a rumored trick to guarantee the card you’re after all the more enticing. Put forward by keenTCGPfans, the Wonder Pick trick supposedly allows you to take advantage of a glitch where, if you press the skip button during the shuffling animation, the five cards with each pick will stay in their same positions when reversed. This hypothetically means you can memorize and instantly pick out the card you need.
For everyday players who know all too wellhow Wonder Picks work, this sort of quick fix solution would easily solve one ofPokémon TCGP’smost annoying problems. For anyone going entirely free-to-play and refusing to spend money on microtransactions for premium currency, the limited Stamina you get to spend on the feature each day is quite frustrating, since you only get a 20% chance of pulling the key card you’re trying to add to your collection. Even if the Wonder Pick trick did work, no one would blame you for trying it at least once.
The Wonder Pick Trick Doesn’t Actually Work
Both Rumors Have Not Been Proven True
Unfortunately for hopeful players,the Wonder Pick trick does not workinPokémon TCG Pocket. Confirmed through multiple tests, if you press the skip button during the shuffling animation during each Wonder Pick, the final positions of all five cards will be randomized in completely the same way as they would’ve been otherwise. You may just so happen to select the card you’re trying to pick, but that’s merely down to luck as said card has the same 20% chance of landing on the spot it was in originally.

Pack Points Are The Only Way To Guarantee A Card Pull
But You’ll Need To Keep Saving
If you’re desperate for a card in thePokémon TCG Pocketthat you’ve not been able to get in a Wonder Pick,spending Pack Points is the only wayto guarantee getting it. If you’re in urgent need toget the Misty Supporter cardto complete a Water deck, for example, the PP Exchange menu is the one resource in the game right now, where you may instantly get it with no chance of failure. The caveat, however, is that the Pack Point price for each card is higher the rarer it is.
You earn five Pack Points every time you open a booster. This means you’ll need to open 80 packs if you want a card that costs 400 Pack Points.
For example, the common one-diamond rare Bulbasaur costs only 35 Pack Points, whereas the aforementioned Misty costs 70 in its standard two-diamond edition. That price steadily goes up to the thousands, including 1,250 Pack Points for the three-star rare Mewtwo ex, or 2,500 for the one-crown rare Pikachu ex, Charizard ex, or Mewtwo ex. Since the Wonder Pick trick doesn’t work inPokémon TCG Pocket, you’ll either need to spend a long time saving Pack Points or hope you’ll get lucky opening booster packs.
