Pokémon TCG Pocket, the newly launched mobile trading card game, offers an exciting surprise for avid collectors: a hidden Mew card. Renowned for its rarity and enigmatic nature, this elusive Pokémon is not easily acquired. Here’s how you can include this sought-after card in your collection.
The Kanto Pokédex Challenge
To unlock Mew in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you must complete a significant task:
Collect all 150 Kanto Pokémon
This means acquiring at least one card for each of the original 150 Pokémon from the Kanto region[1][2]. Here are some key points to remember:
- Only basic cards are required, so you don’t need to worry about collecting all variants like alt arts, full arts, or promos[1].
- The rarity of the cards doesn’t matter – as long as you have one of each Pokémon, it counts towards completion[2].
- This includes legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo, so be prepared for a challenge[3].
Claiming Your Reward
Once you’ve collected all 150 Kanto Pokémon, follow these steps:
- Go to the “Missions” section in the game.
- Look for the “Themed Collections” option.
- Find the entry that reads “Complete the Kanto Pokédex!”
- Claim your reward – the secret Mew card[2].
The Secret Mew Card
The Mew card you’ll receive is special:
- It’s an immersive animation card, featuring stunning artwork[1].
- The card has a 3-star rarity rating[2].
- It’s not available through regular pack openings, making it truly exclusive[3].
Card Details
Here are the stats for the secret Mew card:
- HP: 60
- Type: Basic
- Rarity: 3-star (Immersive)
- Attack: Psy Report (Reveals opponent’s hand)
- Attack Damage: 20
- Attack Cost: 1 Psychic energy

Is It Worth the Effort?
Completing the Kanto Pokédex is no small feat. It requires opening numerous Genetic Apex booster packs and potentially investing significant time or money[1][3]. However, for Pokémon enthusiasts and collectors, the exclusive Mew card serves as a testament to their dedication and a unique addition to their digital collection.
While the card’s competitive viability is yet to be determined, its Psychic-type synergy could potentially make it a valuable addition to Mewtwo ex decks[2].
In conclusion, unlocking the secret Mew card in Pokémon TCG Pocket is a challenging but rewarding endeavor for those willing to embark on a nostalgic journey through the Kanto region’s original 150 Pokémon.
