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. 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 manifested as a blank slot on the list. This has left players eager to know when they can acquire it.

Unveiling Promo Card 008

Although currently unobtainable, investigation reveals Promo Card 008's design. Accessing the "Related Cards" section for 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 states 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 tied to a specific event.

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 be available soon. In the meantime, hiding unowned cards in the settings provides a temporary solution.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
