How does wonder pick sneak peek work in Pokémon TCG Pocket?

As the name suggests, the sneak peek feature inPokémon TCG Pocketallows you to sneak a peek at one of the card options when wonder picking a booster pack. However, there’s only a chance of the sneak peek feature actually activating when you wonder pick something. This means when you attempt to wonder pick a pack, you may get unlucky and the sneak peek won’t proc at all, and you’ll just end up doing a regular wonder pick where you randomly get one of the five cards.

You’ll know that the sneak peek feature has procced when a magnifying glass icon shows up, and a prompt lets you know that you can now sneak a peek at one of the cards.

When this happens, choose the card you want to peek at and if it’s the card you were aiming for, you can pick it with the confidence that you’ll get what you want. If the peeked card wasn’t the one you wanted, well now you have a one in four chance of getting the target card instead of the one in five. It’s as simple as that.

Because there’s only a chance of the sneak peek feature proccing, it’s entirely possible that you might go the entire duration of the campaign without actually seeing it in action. Just so you know, it’s not a bug. It’s just RNG doing RNG things.

When does the sneak peek campaign end?

The wonder pick sneak peek campaign will run from April 3 to April 10, at 1:59am ET. Once the daily rollover happens on the 10, all wonder picks will go back to normal and you’ll have a one in five shot of getting your target card.
