All Paldean Wonders Secret Missions in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Pokémon TCG Pocket's Paldean Wonders expansion adds a cool extra layer with its secret missions. These aren't listed anywhere upfront—you only realize they exist once you start pulling the right cards. When you complete all four, you walk away with 36 Pack Hourglasses, 108 Wonder Hourglasses, 20 Shop Tickets, and a Mabosstiff emblem, which is a nice flex if you're pushing toward full completion Pokemon TCG Pocket Items. The whole thing revolves around the 131-card Paldean Wonders set and really pushes you to chase art rares, rainbow rares, and full art trainers instead of just filling the basic dex.

The first hidden objective, Paldean Wonders Museum 1, triggers when you collect six specific art rares: Fuecoco, Greavard, Gimmighoul, Paldean Wooper, Orthworm, and Maushold. Once you own all six, the mission just pops as completed. The rewards are solid—36 Wonder Hourglasses, 12 Pack Hourglasses, and 10 Shop Tickets—so it's actually a nice early boost. Art rares aren't impossible to pull, but Gimmighoul seems to dodge people more than the others, so a lot of players end up trading for that last slot.

Paldean Wonders Museum 2 is where things get expensive. You need all five rainbow rare ex cards: Meowscarada ex, Armarouge ex, Chien-Pao ex, Bellibolt ex, and Gholdengo ex. Rainbow rares are much tougher pulls, so this one usually takes either serious pack volume or smart trading. The reward payout is the same as Museum 1, which feels fair considering how much harder the requirements are. Chien-Pao ex in particular is always in demand because it fits well into aggressive Water builds, so it tends to move fast on trade boards.

After clearing both museum missions, Coin Collecting unlocks. This one focuses on Gimmighoul's art rare and Gholdengo ex's rainbow rare. It's basically a themed combo mission, and since Gimmighoul overlaps with Museum 1, a lot of players already have half of it done. The rewards match the previous missions, so it's another helpful stack of hourglasses and tickets. If you're missing Gholdengo's rainbow, though, expect to pay for it in trades.

The hardest mission by far is Trainers of Paldea. You need both the regular and full art versions of Team Star Grunt, Iono, Nemona, Arven, and Penny—ten cards total. Full arts are already rare, and some of these trainers are meta-relevant, so demand stays high. Finishing this one gives you the Mabosstiff emblem, which is purely cosmetic but definitely a status symbol. Most players leave this for last and slowly trade into it over time.

Alongside the hidden missions, Paldean Wonders also has visible themed collections that reward more hourglasses and tickets. Those at least give you a checklist to follow, while the secret ones feel like surprise bonuses for collectors who go deep into the set. Between both systems, you're basically encouraged to chase every corner of the expansion instead of stopping once your main deck is built.

If you're trying to clear everything efficiently, trading is huge. Focus on cards that overlap across missions, like Gimmighoul, and don't burn all your resources outside of events that boost pack flow. Art rares show up fairly often, rainbows are much rarer, and full art trainers can take real patience unless you're opening a ton of packs. Some players brute-force it in a few days, but most of us get there slowly through steady openings and smart swaps Pokemon TCG Pocket Items for sale.

The secret missions make Paldean Wonders feel more rewarding. You're not just opening packs for random pulls—you're slowly unlocking hidden goals tied to the set's best-looking cards. When that final trainer full art drops and the emblem unlocks, it actually feels earned.
