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 might have been present earlier, it only recently became visible as a blank entry. This has left players eager for information on how to acquire it.

Unveiling Promo Card 008

Although currently unobtainable, a glimpse of Promo Card 008 is possible. Accessing the "Related Cards" section for cards like Red Card (006) or Pokedex (004) reveals a greyed-out version. This alternate art Pokedex depicts a Pokedex surrounded by Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

The card's information confirms its unowned status and notes 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 for obtaining Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Card 008 remain undisclosed. However, for those seeking a complete collection, hopefully, it will become available soon. In the meantime, the option to hide unowned cards can alleviate the visual frustration.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
