I opened the app and the Paldean banner was already flashing across my screen — midnight hits differently when a new expansion drops. My thumbs moved before I thought: one quick match, one emblem, then another. Ten matches later my Shinedust total looked healthier and the chase felt possible.
I play fast and I play smart, and I want you to be the same. Below I’ll walk you through dates, the simplest tasks that pay off, and the step-by-step moves that get you the emblems and Hourglasses you want.

Paldean Wonders Emblem Event Missions and Rewards
On my first run I checked the mission tab and realized it was a short checklist of wins that paid out Shinedust and Hourglasses at every step.
Complete the listed mission wins and you’ll receive Shinedust in increasing amounts and Pack Hourglasses that convert into packs. The math is simple: small wins stack into something meaningful.
| Mission | Reward |

| Win 3 versus battles | Shinedust x300 |
| Win 5 versus battles | Shinedust x500 |
| Win 10 versus battles | Shinedust x1000 |
| Win 15 versus battles | Shinedust x1500 |
| Win 20 versus battles | Shinedust x2000 |
| Win 25 versus battles | Shinedust x2500 |
| Participate in 1 versus battle |  Pack Hourglass x3 |
| Participate in 3 versus battles | Pack Hourglass x3 |
| Participate in 5 versus battles | Pack Hourglass x6 |
| Participate in 9 versus battles | Pack Hourglass x12 |
The event is a magnet for quick rewards. If you play casual or ranked, prioritize short, winnable matches and focus on finishing the mission list before time runs out.
How many free packs can you get in the Paldean Wonders Emblem event?
Players can earn up to two free packs from Pack Hourglasses during this event — that equals 24 Pack Hourglasses total when you complete the participation milestones.
Practical tips: sync a few matches during prime hours (you’ll find opponents faster), follow Pokemon TCG Pocket channels on Discord and Twitch for tips, and use the in-app deck builder to tweak counters quickly.
The rewards are a lighthouse pointing you toward the packs you want. Did you pick a card to chase this event, or are you farming Shinedust to finish a set?
