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 disrupting this peaceful pursuit.
The Appearance of Promo Card 008
The Promo Card section appeared complete until January 2025, when a new, unobtainable card, Promo Card 008, materialized between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009) in the Promo – A Card Dex. While its existence might have been present earlier, it only recently manifested as a blank slot on the list. This has left players eager for information on how to acquire it.
Unveiling Promo Card 008
Although currently unobtainable, investigating cards like Red Card (006) or Pokedex (004) reveals a preview. Accessing the "Related Cards" section shows a greyed-out version of Promo Card 008: an alternate art Pokedex featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.
The card's information confirms its unowned status and notes it will be "obtained from a campaign," similar to the New Year 2025 Pikachu (Promo 026). This differs from cards acquired through missions or Wonder Pick events, suggesting a promotional giveaway.
The exact release date and method of obtaining Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Card 008 remain unknown. However, players can temporarily hide unowned cards by toggling the relevant option at the top of the screen.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
