New Hidden Promo Card in Pokemon TCG: Pocket's Promo Card 8 Unveiled

For completionists playing Pokemon TCG Pocket, the Promo Card section is usually a satisfyingly short list to complete. However, the enigmatic Promo Card 008 is currently causing frustration.

The Appearance of Promo Card 008

The Promo Card section appeared complete until January 2025, when a new, unobtainable card, Promo Card 008, suddenly appeared between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009). While its numbered position suggests it may have existed in the game's code for some time, it only recently became visible as a blank slot in the card list. This has left players eager to know when they can acquire it.

Unveiling Promo Card 008

Although currently unobtainable, Promo Card 008's design can be viewed. Accessing the "Related Cards" section for cards like Red Card (006) or Pokedex (004) reveals a greyed-out version. It depicts an alternate art Pokedex surrounded by Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

The card's in-game information states it will be "obtained from a campaign," similar to the New Year 2025 Pikachu card (Promo 026). This differs from cards acquired through missions or Wonder Pick events, suggesting a promotional giveaway tied to a specific event.

The exact timing and method of obtaining Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Card 008 remain unknown. However, players hoping to complete their collection can anticipate its release soon. In the meantime, the option to hide unowned cards can be toggled off to avoid seeing the empty slot.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
