Everyday Wonders (B3b) Set Guide: The Newest Set and Its Mega Shine Twist

Everyday Wonders is Pokémon TCG Pocket's newest set: size, the B-series bonus slot, and the key cards worth chasing.

Summary

Everyday Wonders holds 106 cards through a single Everyday Wonders pack, and it's the set that introduced Shiny (S) and Shiny Super Rare (SSR) rarities alongside a special 6-card pack variant — appearing on about 5.24% of opens — where the bonus 6th slot pulls Shiny-tier cards specifically. Its 2 Crown Rare cards are Munchlax and the Trainer Tool card Small Balloon, a deliberately down-to-earth pair that fits the set's theme better than another oversized legendary would.

The Set in Numbers

Everyday Wonders holds 106 total cards: 96 Pokémon (19 of them ex) and the rest Trainer cards. Its rarity spread is the most varied of any set covered in this wiki, including tiers that didn't exist in Genetic Apex:

The Mega Shine Mechanic: A 6th Slot

Everyday Wonders' Regular Pack works like every other set's for its first 5 slots, but roughly 5.24% of pack opens pull a special 6-card variant instead, adding a bonus 6th slot dedicated entirely to Shiny-tier pulls — split roughly 68.2% Shiny and 31.8% Shiny Super Rare within that slot when it appears. This sits alongside, not instead of, the set's normal Rare Pack (God Pack) at the usual 0.05% rate, meaning Everyday Wonders effectively has two different bonus-pack systems running in parallel.

Mega Evolution ex Cards Lead the Set

The set's strongest non-Crown Rare ex Pokémon by HP are Mega Gyarados ex and Mega Ampharos ex, both at 210 HP as Shiny Super Rare cards, followed by Mega Diancie ex and Mega Sableye ex at 170 HP. Mega Sableye ex in particular is a confirmed piece of a real S-tier tournament deck (Greninja Mega Sableye ex, covered in our best cards by tier guide), so it's worth prioritizing over the set's Crown Rare tier if deck power is your goal rather than collection completion.

Why the Crown Rares Are a Munchlax and a Trainer Tool

Instead of another flagship legendary, Everyday Wonders' 2 Crown Rare cards are Munchlax — a modest 50 HP Basic Pokémon — and Small Balloon, a Trainer Tool card. It's an unusual choice for the game's rarest tier, but it lines up with the set's "everyday" theme: the chase cards here are collector pieces and full-art showcases rather than the strongest attackers in the set, which is exactly why Mega Sableye ex and the other Mega ex cards matter more for actual deck building than this set's Crown Rares do.

Type Spread in the Newest Set

Among Everyday Wonders' 96 Pokémon cards, Colorless leads clearly at 22, with Water and Psychic tied at 15 each — a shift from earlier sets where Water or Grass typically led. Fighting and Fire are both thin here, at 5 and 4 cards respectively, so a Fighting- or Fire-focused single-type deck built purely from this set alone would be running on a noticeably shallow pool compared to farming those types from Genetic Apex or Space-Time Smackdown instead.

Frequently asked questions

What's different about Everyday Wonders' pack mechanics?
It's the first set with a 6-card 'Regular Pack +1' variant, appearing on about 5.24% of opens, adding a bonus Shiny-tier 6th slot on top of the normal 5 slots.
Are the Crown Rares in this set strong attackers?
No — Munchlax and Small Balloon (a Trainer Tool) are collector-tier chase cards, not the set's best deck pieces. Mega Sableye ex and other Mega ex cards are the stronger picks for actual play.
Is Mega Sableye ex worth prioritizing?
Yes for competitive play — it's part of a confirmed S-tier tournament deck (Greninja Mega Sableye ex) per real tournament data, ahead of chasing this set's Crown Rare tier.
How many Shiny-rarity cards does Everyday Wonders have?
10 Shiny (S) and 4 Shiny Super Rare (SSR) cards, introduced alongside the set's 6-card Mega Shine pack variant.
Is this a good set for a Fighting or Fire deck?
Not on its own — only 5 Fighting-type and 4 Fire-type Pokémon cards exist in this set, both thinner pools than in Genetic Apex or Space-Time Smackdown.
