Summary
- Fans propose turning Rewind Watches into second chances for Wonder Picks.
- Many players find Rewind Watches currently useless in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
- Changing how Rewind Watches work could increase their popularity and importance.
A Pokemon TCG Pocket player has suggested turning Rewind Watches into a second chance for each Wonder Pick. For those unfamiliar, Wonder Picks in Pokemon TCG Pocket are RNG-based mechanics that provide an additional way to acquire cards. They let players select a random card from a booster pack opened by another player, costing one to four Wonder Hourglasses depending on the rarity of the featured cards.
As the digital trading card game nears its first anniversary, fans are more frequently sharing the changes they expect to see. Many believe Pokemon TCG Pocket needs to evolve by adding more quality-of-life features quickly. One area fans have long called for improvements in is Wonder Picks. While it remains one of the best free ways to unlock cards, the feature is missing several key QoL elements. For example, fans have asked the developer to add a history or log for past picks. One player even has a fresh idea to revamp a largely forgotten part of Wonder Picks.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Fans Think This Item Card Is ‘Useless’
Some fans believe that a particular Item Card from Pokemon TCG Pocket’s most recent expansion is the worst in terms of utility and function.
Reddit user Ray_kuro pointed out that many players find Rewind Watches to be largely useless in their current form. In a post on the game’s subreddit, they suggested these items should instead serve as second chances for previously picked Wonder Picks. Currently, each Wonder Pick in Pokemon TCG Pocket is available for a limited time, and after it expires, only a Rewind Watch can reactivate it. However, these watches don’t work on Wonder Pick offers that have already been used.
Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Rewind Watches Could Be More Helpful
Fans responding to Ray_kuro’s post have agreed that Rewind Watches are among the least-used currencies in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Many believe players often forget they even have these items, leading to piles of unused watches in their inventories. If the game changes how Rewind Watches work, however, the currency could gain popularity and become almost as important as Pack Hourglasses.
Even if the game changed how Rewind Watches work, there would likely be a limit on how many rewinds players can use per pick. One idea is that the item could function like Pokemon TCG Pocket‘s recently introduced Sneak Peek mechanic, with the first pick revealing one of five cards and the second pick, using a Rewind Watch, being the player’s final draw. However, since Pokemon TCG Pocket is a gacha game, it’s unlikely Rewind Watches will ever become more than what they are now. That said, there is still hope for the Wonder Pick feature, and upcoming updates could indeed make it a more popular part of the game.
