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 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 may have been present earlier, it only recently became visible as a blank entry. This has left players eager to learn how to acquire it.

Unveiling Promo Card 008

Although currently unobtainable, investigating the "Related Cards" section (accessible from cards like Red Card 006 or Pokedex 004) reveals a preview of Promo Card 008. It's an alternate art Pokedex featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

The card's description indicates acquisition through an upcoming "campaign," similar to the New Year 2025 Pikachu (Promo 026). This differs from cards obtained through missions or Wonder Pick events, suggesting a promotional giveaway.

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.
