New Pokémon TCG Pocket Promo Card Expl: Promo Card 8 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 a frustrating gap 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 blank entry sits conspicuously between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009). While its number suggests it's been in the game longer, it only recently began showing up as an empty slot. This has left players eager to know when they can acquire it.

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 card featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle surrounding the Pokedex itself.

The card's information confirms its unowned status and notes it will be "obtained from a campaign," similar to the New Year 2025 Pikachu (Promo 026). This differs from cards acquired through missions or Wonder Pick events, which have specific event-related descriptions.

The exact release date and method for obtaining Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Card 008 remain unknown. However, hopefully, it will be available soon for those seeking to complete their collection. In the meantime, the option to hide unowned cards can be toggled off if the empty slot proves too distracting.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
