Usually, the Wonder Pick feature in TCGP allows a player to "snipe" (obtain a duplicate) card from recently opened packs by friends or someone else out there in the world. At times, however, the player can opt to obtain other cards instead, from sets that may be considered as "special picks" but still work the same way as Wonder Picks in general. These "special picks" deserve a bit of exploration for what they offer and to make the most of them.
One of the most frequently encountered "special picks" is the Bonus Pick, which for some events might offer a single card in the set alongside two Wonder Hourglasses and two shop tickets, and for others might have a selection of cards instead. Given that it's a "bonus", it's free from using up Wonder Stamina, and moreover, it may appear a few times a day, demanding the game to be opened frequently. It's still regardless a good and simple way to get extra cards, if not either of the two items mentioned above.
Some events, meanwhile, have the Chansey Pick, especially when Promo cards are involved. A common format for this is two of the cards, with both having certain chances (perhaps 1:4 or 3:2). The cost for this pick is minimal - 1 Wonder Stamina is the norm - and true to its name, the cards have a Chansey emblem on the lower right corner of the art. Because of the chances (ahem) involved, some cards from this pick might appear to become dominant, but the pick is still something to go for when it presents itself.
Then there is the Rare Pick, which is accordingly an infrequent sight but a truly wondrous one. The contents of the pick are also rare cards, possibly three and four Diamonds. As such, the cost measures up to that: it costs 3 Wonder Stamina like certain similar picks from other players, but it's definitely a worthwhile pick to be made. It's certainly the time to spend the Wonder Stamina and the associated Hourglasses (if necessary) on it, if one ever appears, especially if it's tied to specific events like some are.
It's a given that some of the time spent in TCGP will be for getting cards from Wonder Picks, and some of those Wonder Picks might just be for the "special picks" as outlined above. They're somewhat different from the picks from friends and other people, but they also offer niceties of their own that they might just not be able to provide, likewise if they're tied to an event. Yet they'll certainly tie together the cards in one's collection as well.
