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.

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
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.

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.
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.
