Unveiled! How to Master Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Sneak Peek Campaign

by

Up until now, the choice of card during a Wonder Pick in Pokemon TCG Pocket hasn’t significantly affected the outcome. However, with the introduction of the Sneak Peek Campaign, players now have an opportunity for a second try, significantly boosting their chances of improving the outcome in specific scenarios.

Unfortunately, the game’s instructions on the Sneak Peek mechanic aren’t very clear, leaving many players unsure about when and how they can use it. This guide aims to provide clarity by explaining the function of Sneak Peeks in the Pokemon TCG Pocket.

How to Use Sneak Peek in Pokemon TCG Pocket

To begin with, it’s important to understand that not every Wonder Pick can participate in Sneak Peeks during the campaign duration. The chance to use the Sneak Peek feature will only become clear once the Wonder Pick process has begun. If fortune favors them, a message will pop up on their screen after the cards have been mixed, at which stage, they’ll be granted the ability to secretly view one of the five cards.

In most cases, it appears that the likelihood of a player activating Sneak Peek is about 50%, but keep in mind that individual experiences might differ.

If players receive the Sneak Peek message, they should tap on the card they’re curious about, and a magnifying glass will appear over it. Next, they can press the “Take a Peek” button located at the bottom of the screen. Upon doing so, they’ll be able to see what’s hidden on the other side of the card. If they like what they see, they can select the same card again. If not, they can pick one of the remaining four cards instead.

Sneak Peek Odds of Success

If you’re aiming for a specific card in a Wonder Pick game, using Sneak Peek can potentially double your chances of acquiring it, boosting the odds from 20% to 40%. On the other hand, if you employ the optimal strategy for the Pokemon TCG Pocket Wonder Pick, where you wait until two cards needed by the player appear together in a single pick, Sneak Peek can significantly increase your chances. In these cases, it raises the odds from 40% to 70%, making it an effective method for obtaining elusive art rares or ex cards that are still missing from your collection.

If Sneak Peek has already been activated (which happens with a 50% chance), then your odds of success for a single Wonder Pick are around 30%, but if you have two cards you’re hoping to get, the chances increase to approximately 55%. Given this information, players might want to conserve their hourglasses by not using them for Wonder Picks where they only require one specific card.
