What Is Promo Card 8 in Pokemon TCG Pocket? New Hidden Promo Card, Explained
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, once neatly organized, now features a frustrating gap. Around January 2025, a new slot for Promo Card 008 materialized between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009), leaving a noticeable empty space. While the card's number suggests it's existed for some time, its absence from the list was only recently revealed. This has naturally sparked player curiosity regarding its acquisition.
Unveiling Promo Card 008
Although currently unobtainable, investigating the "Related Cards" section (accessible via cards like Red Card 006 or Pokedex 004) reveals a preview. A greyed-out version of Promo Card 008 depicts an alternate art Pokedex surrounded by Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.
The card's information page confirms its unowned status and notes acquisition via a future "campaign." This differs from cards obtained through missions or Wonder Pick events, suggesting a promotional giveaway, possibly commemorating a specific event. New Year's Pikachu (Promo 026) is the only other card with similar acquisition details.
The precise release date and method for obtaining Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Card 008 remain undisclosed. However, for those seeking a complete collection, hopefully, its arrival is imminent. In the meantime, the option to hide unowned cards can alleviate the visual frustration.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
