Pokémon TCG Pocket reveals new promotional cards in new update

Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket‘The new update includes a new look at several new promotional cards tied to upcoming events. Pokémon TCG Pocket has been out for a month now, with the game promoting a constant stream of events to keep players busy when they’re not opening new packs. Many of these events involve promotional cards as prizes, either through Wonder Picks (like the new Mass Outbreak event) or through special single-card promotional packs.

A new update for Pokémon TCG Pocket revealed several new promotional cards tied to an upcoming event focused on Bulbasaur and Magnemite. Although it is not visible in the app, Gastaldaddy on Reddit managed to obtain grayed-out images of several new Pokémon cards, including Jigglypuff, Onix, Greninja, Haunter, Bulbasaur and Magnemite.

Both Bulbasaur and Magnemite have the Chansey badge, indicating that they will be part of an upcoming Chansey Wonder Pick event. Previous data from the Bulbasaur and Magnemite event indicates that this new event will take place from December 6th to December 20th.

Pokémon TCG Pocket’s Upcoming Bulbasaur and Magnemite Wonder Pick Event Explained

Bulbasaur and Magnemite promo cards will appear in Wonder Pick Pulls

The new promo cards are tied to two separate events. The Bulbasaur and Magnemite promotional cards will be available through Wonder Picks, which will appear periodically for players. Chansey Wonder Picks cost two Wonder Stamina to pick up and players have a 1 in 5 chance of drawing the card they want. The previous Meowth Wonder Pick event often featured duplicates of the same card within a Wonder Pick selection, increasing those odds by at least a little.

The other promotional cards will be tied to an upcoming Venusaur solo battle event, similar to the former Lapras event, in which players battle against various themed decks controlled by a computer-controlled opponent. Decks must feature Venusaur, meaning players must build a Fire-type deck before the event launches. Presumably, the new promo cards will come as a reward for defeating the decks. Players should receive a one-card promotional pack every time they defeat the deck, with Venusaur and the other available cards as potential prizes. Some Venusaur items and accessories should also be available as prizes.

Our opinion: Wonder Pick events need improvement

Wonder Stamina is too precious a resource to waste on weak cards

The current Mass Outbreak Wonder Pick event shows that Pokémon TCG Pocket You need to work at these events. Wonder Stamina can be spent on the chance to collect hard-to-find cards, so if you’re not a completionist, it’s hard to justify 2 or 3 Wonder Stamina on more mundane cards. Even promotional cards like Bulbasaur and Magnemite don’t have the same draw as a chance to collect the Rare Bulbasaur Illustration card from a different Wonder Pick. Hopefully the event’s bonus picks offer some alternative selections.
