The second phase of the Blastoise Wonder Pick event has officially launched in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*, bringing a fresh wave of exclusive cosmetic rewards for trainers to collect. This update adds four exciting new Blastoise-themed items to the event shop: a Blastoise player icon, a custom coin, card sleeves featuring the iconic Water-type Pokémon, and a stylish Blue and Blastoise playmat. These stylish additions allow players to personalize their experience while celebrating one of the original Kanto starters.
The event itself will run until January 22, during which players can earn Event Shop Tickets by completing special in-game missions. These include participating in Wonder Pick sessions, collecting Fire-type and Water-type cards, and making selections during the Bonus Pick rounds. All missions from both phases of the event are cumulative, meaning new and returning players can complete them simultaneously. However, the event shop will remain open a bit longer—until January 28—giving players a few extra days to redeem their tickets for desired items.
For those looking to maximize their rewards, unused event tickets can be exchanged for Shinedust—50 Shinedust per ticket, up to a total of 1,000. This provides a solid backup option for players who may not be interested in all the cosmetic offerings.
Following a festive holiday period filled with generous log-in rewards—including Pack Hourglasses and free booster packs—the game has settled into a quieter rhythm. Many dedicated players have already completed their Mythical Island booster collections and are now anticipating the next major expansion, rumored to arrive by the end of January. With *Pokémon TCG Pocket* confirming that Pack Hourglasses will carry over into future expansions, many trainers are holding onto these valuable resources in preparation for what’s next.
The first phase of the Blastoise Wonder Pick event began on January 6 and introduced two highly collectible promotional cards: one featuring Squirtle and the other Charmander. While their in-game attacks mirror the standard versions, the promo variants boast unique, exclusive artwork that makes them prized additions to any digital collection. The initial event rewards, including a Blue-themed backdrop and a cover showcasing Blue alongside Blastoise, are still available in the shop.
With the trade feature expected to exclude these limited-time promo cards from being exchanged, now is the ideal time to log in daily and secure every available item. Missing out could mean losing access forever—so stay active, complete your missions, and make the most of the Blastoise Wonder Pick event before it swims away on January 28.
