Pokémon TCG: Promo Card 8 Uncovered: Secrets Revealed

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 around January 2025 in the Promo – A Card Dex, creating a noticeable gap between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009). While its existence might have been present earlier, it only recently became visible as an empty slot. This has left players eager for information on how to acquire it.

Unveiling Promo Card 008

Although currently unobtainable, investigating related 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 information indicates it will be "obtained from a campaign," similar to the New Year 2025 Pikachu card (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, for those seeking a complete collection, hopefully, it will become available soon. In the meantime, the option to hide unowned cards can be toggled off to temporarily alleviate the visual gap.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
