Paldean Wonders Collection & Deck Guide – Full Set Mastery

The Paldean Wonders (B2a) expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket is the ultimate chase for collectors and competitive players alike. With 131 Pokemon TCG Pocket Cards — including 93 normal cards and 38 secret/ultra‑rare cards — it combines the fan-favorite Pokémon from the Paldea region with strategic Trainers and high-rarity chase pulls.

In this final blog of the series, we’ll explore how to organize your full Paldean Wonders collection, build competitive decks using the most powerful cards, and optimize your collection strategy for both fun and value.

🔹 Why Organizing Your Collection Matters

When collecting Paldean Wonders, keeping your cards well-cataloged is essential:

• Track duplicates – Important for trading or building decks

• Prioritize secret rares – Crown rares, shiny Pokémon, and ex cards are harder to pull

• Binder organization – Helps you visualize full set completion

Suggested Binder Structure:

1. Normal Pokémon cards – sorted by evolution lines

2. Trainer & Stadium cards – grouped by type (Supporter, Item, Stadium)

3. Secret & ultra-rare cards – visually separated, protected in sleeves

By creating an organized binder, you’ll save time, maximize trading efficiency, and make it easier to spot which cards you still need.
