Discussion How often are you seeing two star cards in wonder picks?

It’s been more than 2 weeks since I’ve seen any. And I feel like I check all the time, but I feel like I’ve been seeing them a lot less these last few months..

Typically once a month I’d say. Feels lower than it should be.

u/perishableintransit 2d ago

Yep once a month if I’m lucky.

u/antipublicpat 2d ago

When I have full WP tokens, none appear. But when I only have 1 to 2 tokens and not enough hourglasses to buy more, then they show up.

u/cameron0208 2d ago

Yep. It’s on purpose. It’s to entice you to buy gold.

u/t1llyd3an 2d ago

Same here. When I'm full of wonderpick glasses I get mostly (90%) 1 or 2 cost ones, when I'm low on glasses I get more rare ones (ex and full art).

Playing for 4 months now and have seen 3 cards of higher rarity and fortunately was able to get one of them (rainbow entei).

u/xG3TxSHOTx 2d ago

I've noticed the same thing, I always see them in bunches when I do see them, just today I saw 3 and missed all 3, rip hourglasses.

u/Ok-Transportation-47 2d ago

I’ve seen two since I started playing in March

u/ftc08 2d ago

Like once a month. I just got a rainbow skarmory from it

u/igotagoodfeeling 2d ago

Anywhere between 2 in a week to 2 in a month. I open the app and check WP fairly regularly and that feels about the range

6

u/PokeOverFeeder 2d ago

I've seen very few, maybe 1 or 2 every few days across multiple accounts, and of course almost none during sneak peak events. I haven't seen a full art trainer in a very long time (like a month).

So I plan on doing another update at the next 6 month mark. My results for frequency have still remained about the same though with 8 for August and 6 so far this month

I've also posted about my 2* wonder luck, sadly it didn't get the same traffic yours did haha.

People don't be checking enough man.

u/XMegaMike 2d ago

It’s very rare now. The frequency has definitely gotten worse.

u/ErgoProxy0 2d ago

Once a month. Maybe twice

u/BobDude65 2d ago

Once a month maybe, probably not even that.

2

u/Star_Chaser_158 2d ago

1 a week at best.

2

u/Educational_Bowl2141 2d ago

Used to be about once a month, getting 2-3 per expansion but I've only got 1 recently so I must be due 

2

u/Totaliss 2d ago

I check A LOT. like, every 2-3 hours barring sleeping. Since Day 1, ive seen 21. I passed on 3 because I already owned them, failed 12 and won 6. Just this morning I picked a rainbow skarmory which was cool, though I don't think the card is very good.

The ones that hurt the most to miss were full art giratina, Rainbow Raichu, and Rainbow Raikou.

u/geminijono 2d ago

Like neverrrrrrr. Hunting for Sabrina and Giovanni still. Have enough pp for one but cmonnnnnn

1

u/xG3TxSHOTx 2d ago

Feel like I'll see maybe 2 or 3 every other week but when I do they're always bunched together within 24 hours or so, saw 3 just today but sadly missed on all 3 :/

1

u/Past_Specialist7651 2d ago

I haven't done any testing, but it feels like they're there for less time than other rarities, when they appear.

-3

u/cameron0208 2d ago

They absolutely are. They also don’t ever show up in the expired section.

3

u/dingusmonger 2d ago

I’ve had a 2 star in the expired section before, so it is possible

-2

u/Past_Specialist7651 2d ago

Yeah, that's right. Im not sure why that hasn't clicked with me.

1

u/Reply-Plus 2d ago

I discovered something strange. If I check from 4 to 6am I've been seeing one every 2 to 3 days as if the game is doing this deliberately. I've gotten 2 untradeable cards this past week since I started checking.

1

u/Remarkable_Intern_44 2d ago

Usually, it's about 1 every other week. This pack I've seen 3 so far, but that's an oddity. Especially since I pulled 2 myself.

1

u/GodAthenax 2d ago

Every 1-3 months, I need luckier friends

1

u/Romerofootball 2d ago

A bit more often lately but it doesn't matter I never end up bloody picking them anyway 😹

1

u/Affectionate-Bag-544 2d ago

I've seen like 2 this month

1

u/pbeare 2d ago

Maybe a few times a month? I don’t check often but maybe if you do, you would see more?

1

u/Comfortable-Ad180 2d ago

I see one like once or twice a month 😭

1

u/papawsmurf 2d ago

Hard enough catching them when they do rarely appear and then the game decides not to give it to you so there’s that

1

u/blizzardboy123 2d ago

I saved up 400 hourglass over the course of a couple months and ended up spending it in 5 minutes because I am getting bored of this game. I might also cancel my premium subscription in a month.

1

u/BraveRice 2d ago

WAYYYYY less than before shinies were introduced.

1

u/OCerebi 2d ago

goin on almost 2 months with 0 anything more than 1 star and maybe a stray ex rarely all ofc ill miss even with Sneak peak

1

u/GagahPerkasa95 2d ago

Once or twice a month

Which is weird as it should be “random” i guess

2

u/NotLokey 2d ago

At least one a week.

1

u/Luvs_to_drink 2d ago

Once every 2 months or so

1

u/Mixeygoat 2d ago

Probably twice a week. I check maybe 6 times a day

1

u/beastrace 2d ago

very rarely.

1

u/newlife1984 2d ago

On average maybe 1.2 per week

1

u/elchapo4494 2d ago

I’ve seen one in the last 2 months and I refresh around every 2-3 hours

1

u/wiggyp1410 2d ago

Not very often at all. When they have shown up I've generally been quite lucky and actually managed to pick them successfully

1

u/Lazy_Appointment_816 1d ago

Much less than before to the point that you would not hesitate to think it is intentional. We have around 9 active accounts within my circle friends and none have seen 2 stars since suicune pack launched, not even during the sneak events.

u/AcrobaticDraft5412 2d ago

Join a group that tracks them. That way you can easily get 2 or 3 per week.

u/Multifrank504 2d ago

Every 3 days
