Promo Card 8: Hidden Gem Unearthed in Pokémon TCG Pocket

By GeorgeFeb 10,2025

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 causing a frustrating disruption.

The Appearance of Promo Card 008

The Promo Card section, previously straightforward, was disrupted around January 2025 by the sudden appearance of an unobtainable card – Promo Card 008. This empty slot sits conspicuously between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009) in the Promo – A Card Dex. While its existence might have been present earlier, it only recently appeared as a blank space on the list. Players are eager to know how to acquire this missing piece.

Unveiling Promo Card 008

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

The card's information page 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 rather than in-game acquisition.

The exact release date and method for 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 provide temporary relief from the visual gap.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
