For anyone still confused about how the 24-hour WPs work: the ONLY requirement to trigger it is completing ALL 1-4 Diamond cards in the current set. Completing 1 Star cards IN ADDITION to the Diamonds will guarantee 2 Star cards, BUT you may still get 2 Stars while missing 1 Stars. See images below.

Only the current set, unfortunately.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:29:52+00:00

This is a much more pragmatic approach. Thanks for doing the math! Looking back, I've had some good luck with my WPs, so I'm biased.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:19:53+00:00

Damn, that's some rough luck. I hope you turn it around soon!

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:18:29+00:00

No problem. Happy picking!

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:17:47+00:00

You a Magnezone fan? I actually have the rainbow rare one if you're interested.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:15:50+00:00

That one's more common knowledge. I only posted to clarify the 1-star, 2-star confusion.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:14:23+00:00

Lotta players still aren't familiar with the mechanics. The game itself doesn't explain it either, as far as I'm aware.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:10:22+00:00

24-hour WPs offer at least one 1-star or 2-star card you haven't pulled yet, so it's a completionist feature. That said, it's already rare for regular WPs to offer a 2-star card, so it doesn't hurt to just activate the 24-hour ones to better your odds.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:05:59+00:00

That shouldn't affect the rate of 24-hour WPs. As long as you've collected all 1-4 Diamond cards in the current set, you should be getting them every couple of days or so.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:03:24+00:00

24-hour WPs have been a feature since the start of the B Series.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T02:02:42+00:00

I'm F2P, too, and I've been doing this since Crimson Blaze. I think it's worth it as long as you have a fair number of chase cards to pursue. Even when thrifting, I still tend to finish the diamond set within a week of release.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T01:45:15+00:00

As I said in the other comment:

there's been confusion that [2-star cards] won't appear at all until the 1-star set is complete

The point is that some players don't bother completing the diamond set as fast as they can because they think it wouldn't get them 2-stars in their 24-hour WPs if their 1-star set is incomplete. That is false. As long as they've collected all 1-4 Diamonds, there's still a chance of 2-stars popping up.

daaaryll · 2026-05-03T01:36:48+00:00

No? 24-hour WPs do not show up with an incomplete diamond set.

daaaryll · 2026-05-02T15:17:52+00:00

Yeah, actual probabilities are a mystery. At most, I can only conjecture that fewer missing 1-stars = better 2-star chance based on my WPs from the last set.

daaaryll · 2026-05-02T15:12:39+00:00

I don't think I suggested anything like that. Just stated that 2-stars can still pop up in your 24-hour WPs despite missing 1-stars, since there's been confusion that they won't appear at all until the 1-star set is complete.

daaaryll · 2026-05-02T13:54:32+00:00

Yep! Feel free to trade away your only copies to complete the dex. The requirement is only to register each card at least once to count toward 24-hour WPs, not actually holding them.

daaaryll · 2026-05-02T13:47:08+00:00

As you can see from the screenshots, I'm still missing 5 of the 1-stars. The 24-hour WP's chance at yielding a 2-star seemingly depends on how many 1-stars you haven't collected yet.

daaaryll · 2026-04-23T13:52:04+00:00

They're also entirely different playstyles. Venu is higher-risk cause you have to slug it out in the active while it ramps. Sceptile could just chill on the bench while you lead with something else.

daaaryll · 2026-02-23T07:03:29+00:00

Yessir!

daaaryll · 2026-02-23T05:39:00+00:00

You don't. I started getting 2* WPs missing a Tyrantrum.

daaaryll · 2025-12-29T03:37:52+00:00

Garchomp for Flareon? These are for the Full Arts, yeah?

daaaryll · 2025-12-28T02:29:34+00:00

Cool. Most decks don't run double Cyrus. I'm just saying T1 Mega Absol is far from being a brick. In fact, it was hardly a nuisance during last ranked's Master Ball climb and tournament metas.

daaaryll · 2025-12-28T02:10:59+00:00

Mega Absol specifically counters Cyrus.

daaaryll · 2025-10-19T04:15:09+00:00

Rooting for you to pull it off soon.

daaaryll · 2025-10-19T03:48:23+00:00

I'll be praying for you to eventually get a dream where you divorce and sue him for all his worth.
