What Pokémon TCG Pocket events are rumoured?

Thanks to a datamine of the game, a handful of Pokémon TCG Pocket events have been leaked. These include a Venusaur drop event, and two more Wonder Pick Events.

You can find the full details of the leaked Pokémon TCG events below:

• Venusaur drop event | 29th November-13th December | Like the Lapras ex event which ended on 18th November, but for Venusaur
• Bulbasaur/Magnemite Wonder Pick Event 1 | 6th December-13th December
• Bulbasaur/Magnemite Wonder Pick Event 2 | 13th December-20th December

The Wonder Pick Events are rumoured to be just like the Meowth/Chansey Wonder Pick Event, which had themed wonder picks and its own item shop with tickets.
