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, around January 2025, a new, unobtainable card, Promo Card 008, materialized in the Promo – A Card Dex. This empty slot sits conspicuously between Professor Oak (007) and Pikachu (009).

Unveiling Promo Card 008
Although currently unobtainable, investigating reveals its design. Accessing the "Related Cards" section for cards like Red Card (006) or Pokedex (004) displays a greyed-out version of Promo Card 008. It depicts an alternate art Pokedex surrounded by Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.
The precise release date and method for obtaining Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Card 008 remain unknown. However, for those striving for completion, hopefully, it will become available soon. In the meantime, hiding unowned cards in the display settings offers a temporary solution.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
