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. Its presence, nestled between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009), creates a noticeable gap. While its existence may have been present earlier, it only recently appeared as a blank entry in the list. This has led players to demand answers regarding its acquisition.
What is Promo Card 008?
Although currently unobtainable, investigating the "Related Cards" section (accessible via cards like Red Card 006 or Pokedex 004) reveals a preview. It's an alternate art Pokedex featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.
The card's information confirms its unowned status and indicates it will be "obtained from a 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 exact release date and method of obtaining Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Card 008 remain unknown. However, players eager to complete their collection can temporarily hide unowned cards via an in-game option.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
