All Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo cards & how to get them

There are so many cards to grab in Pokemon TCG Pocket, and Promo cards are among the rarest, and often the prettiest – if you can get them.

As the latest Pokemon card game, Pokemon TCG Pocket features tons of beloved cards and items to help players build the perfect deck and defeat their opponents. However, cards aren’t that easy to get hold of, especially given the paid nature of some packs and the slower release of free boosters.

Luckily, there’s a different type of card that players can attempt to get, otherwise known as Promo cards. So, here’s what they are, how to get them, and more importantly, all the currently available and upcoming additions.

All current Promo cards

At the time of writing, 23 Promo cards have been added to Pokemon TCG Pocket. While many of these are obtainable at any time, others, like those added with limited-time drop events, can only be obtained during the associated event window.

TCG Pocket’s developer hasn’t indicated whether these events will return to give players who missed them the first time around a second chance at adding them to their collections.

Every Promo card in the game, their details, and how to get them have been listed below:

What are Promo cards?

Promo cards act as unique cards players can get outside traditional booster packs. The cards themselves aren’t tied to those packs or card sets.

However, if a card is from a Promo set, it will likely have the same stats as its base variant, though some can have different stats or abilities if they’re rare.

How to get Promo cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Dexerto / The Pokemon Company

Thankfully, there are multiple ways to get hold of Promo cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket, making them not as elusive as many may think.

Take part in events

The easiest way to grab Promo cards is by participating in the game’s events.

For example, as of the time of writing, it’s the Lapras Ex Event. So, players can fight Lapras Ex in hopes of winning one Promo Pack after each victory. Unlocking these Promo Packs will give you the Promo cards.

For more details on the current event including the best decks and counters, check out our hub.

Buy them in Shops

Not all Promo cards are found in Promo Packs. Some can be found in the game’s Shop, and are therefore purchasable with Shop Tickets.

The best way to get these Tickets is from other players when they use your pack during a Wonder Pick, or by completing Tutorial missions.

Dexerto / The Pokemon Company

Currently, every Promo card available in the store costs 2 Shop Tickets, so you’ll need 14 in total.

Complete Missions

Some Promo cards can be found by completing missions, like the upcoming Mewtwo card.

To unlock the Promo Mewtwo card, for example, players need to collect 5 Mewtwo cards, making it extremely tricky to get hold of. It’s likely other cards will have the same design as they’re released. However, the only one at the moment is Mewtwo.

There you have it, those are all the current Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo cards available in the game. While hunting for your favorite, be sure to check out some of the Rarest cards you can get or how to get the secret Mew card.
