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 exciting RNG-based activity in Pokemon Pocket, where players can try their luck 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 will run for two weeks, from January 6, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. to 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 opportunities that offer one of the two Promo-A cards (or their regular variants) alongside four slots of either Wonder Hourglasses or Event Ticket Shops. While the frequency of Bonus Wonder Picks isn't officially confirmed, data-mined calculations suggest a 20.00% chance of encountering one 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 these 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 the first part of January's Wonder Pick Event, you can complete five basic missions to earn Event Shop Tickets (Blastoise). These tickets can be used 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 key points to keep in mind:
- Ticket Carryover: Event Shop Tickets will remain in your inventory until January 29, giving you a few extra days post-event to decide which limited-time accessory to purchase. Data-mined information suggests you'll need a total of 31 tickets to buy all Part 1 & 2 items.
- No Notifications: You won't receive alerts for Rare and Bonus Picks. It's advisable to check in every 30 minutes to an hour, as the game won't notify you when you're offline.
- Mission Progress: All Wonder Picks count toward the event missions. You don't need to use your Wonder Pick Stamina on event offerings; any pick during the event will contribute to your mission progress.
- Resource Management: 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.
