Discover the Secret of Promo Card 8 in Pokémon TCG Pocket

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 for many players.

The Appearance of Promo Card 008

The unobtainable Promo Card 008 mysteriously appeared around January 2025 within the Promo – A Card Dex. This empty slot sits conspicuously between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009). While its numbered position suggests it's existed for some time, it only recently became visible as a blank space in the card list. This has left players eager to learn how to 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) displays a greyed-out version of the card. It depicts an alternate art 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, possibly commemorating 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, its acquisition will be announced soon. In the meantime, the option to hide unowned cards can alleviate the visual frustration.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
