Exclusive Promo Card Unveiled: Hidden Gem in Pokémon TCG Pocket

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 unobtainable Promo Card 008 appeared in the Promo – A Card Dex around January 2025, creating a noticeable gap between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009). While its existence might have been implied earlier due to the numbering, it only recently manifested as a blank entry in the list. This has left players eager to learn how to acquire it.

Unveiling Promo Card 008

Although currently unobtainable, investigation reveals Promo Card 008's design. Accessing the "Related Cards" section for cards like Red Card (006) or Pokedex (004) displays a greyed-out version. This alternate art Pokedex features Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle surrounding the central Pokedex image.

The card's information indicates it's obtainable through a future "campaign," similar to the New Year 2025 Pikachu card (Promo 026). This differs from cards acquired via missions or Wonder Pick events, suggesting a promotional giveaway tied to a specific event.

The exact release date and method of obtaining Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Card 008 remain unknown. However, players hoping to complete their collection can anticipate its arrival soon. In the meantime, the option to hide unowned cards can alleviate the visual disruption.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
