The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) Pocket offers a plethora of cards, with Promo cards standing out as some of the rarest and most visually appealing. Acquiring these exclusive cards can significantly enhance gameplay, making them coveted additions to any player’s deck.
As the latest iteration of the Pokémon card game, Pokémon TCG Pocket allows players to construct formidable decks using beloved characters and items. However, obtaining these cards is not always straightforward, primarily due to the fact that some packs are paid and free boosters have a slower release rate. This can leave players on the lookout for alternative options.
Enter Promo cards, a unique category that players can pursue. In this guide, we will explore what Promo cards are, how to acquire them, and provide insights into the existing and upcoming Promo offerings.

As of now, there are 23 Promo cards available in Pokémon TCG Pocket. While many cards can be obtained at any time, others are tied to limited-time events, making timing crucial for collectors.

Upcoming Promo Cards
As of December 16, all Promo cards currently visible in-game are either available or have been obtainable in Pokémon TCG Pocket. We will keep this section updated as new sets and updates roll out, including any unobtainable promos.
Understanding Promo Cards
Promo cards are special cards that players can acquire outside of the standard booster packs. These cards exist independently of the card sets, offering unique gameplay opportunities.
While most Promo cards mirror the stats of their base counterparts, some may feature unique statistics or abilities, especially those categorized as rare.
Acquiring Promo Cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Fortunately, there are several methods to obtain Promo cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket, countering the notion that they are difficult to find.
Participate in In-Game Events
One of the easiest ways to acquire Promo cards is by engaging in in-game events.
Currently ongoing is the Lapras Ex Event, where players can battle Lapras Ex for the chance to earn a Promo Pack after each victory. These packs contain various Promo cards, making the event a great opportunity for collectors.
Purchase from In-Game Shops
It’s important to note that not all Promo cards are available in packs; some can be directly purchased from the in-game shop using Shop Tickets.
The most effective way to gather these tickets is through fellow players when they use your pack during a Wonder Pick, or through completion of tutorial missions.
Each Promo card in the shop is priced at 2 tickets, so, to collect them all, players will need a total of 14 tickets.
Achieve Missions for Cards
Some Promo cards can also be unlocked through mission completion, as seen with the upcoming Mewtwo card.
To obtain the Mewtwo Promo card, players must collect 5 Mewtwo cards, which can be challenging. It’s likely that future Promo cards may follow a similar design approach.
This concludes our overview of the current Promo cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Be sure to stay tuned for additional updates and card releases!
