How to Get the Secret Mew Card in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Mew isn’t available in the three Genetic Apex booster packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket but is hidden somewhere in the game, making it one of the most sought-after cards. Many fans are just eager to uncover how to get this elusive card.

Before diving into the details, note that obtaining Mew is no easy feat. Few F2P players have managed to get it, as it requires opening hundreds of packs across all three—Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo—booster packs, with low odds of success. Anyway, here’s how to unlock the secret Mew card in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

How to Get the Secret Immersive Mew Card

To get Mew in Pokemon Pocket, you will need to collect all 150 Kanto Pokemon. This will reveal the secret mission “Complete the Kanto Pokedex!” which rewards you with an immersive Mew card. You don’t need every variant of Kanto Pokemon; one card from each species is enough.

Mew’s secret mission is part of the Themed Collections section in the Missions menu. However, it can only be seen once it’s completed.

• Type: Psychic
• HP: 60
• Effect: Reveals the enemy’s hand
• Star: 3
• Weakness: Darkness
• Illustrator: Amelicart

Regarding gameplay value, Mew is not a META character and should be considered a utility option. It’s more of a show-off card than a plug-and-play Pokemon for your decks. And the fact that Mew has no attack abilities in Pokemon Pocket makes it a less favorable card in PvP.

Mew has the same ability as Hand Scope, an Item Card you can get quickly by completing advanced training tasks.

You need to have at least one card of the following Pokemon to unlock Mew:

How to Increase the Odds of Getting Mew

Getting Mew as a free-to-play player is one of the most challenging accomplishments in Pokemon Pocket. However, you can do a few things to accelerate the process.

Wishlist Missing Cards

In your Pokedex, tab the empty slot of your missing Pokemon and toggle on the heart icon at the top. This will let you target that specific character in Wonder Picks as an alternative way of unlocking cards.

Save Up Pack Points

You can exchange Pack Points to purchase every card in the Genetic Apex roster. Save these points—earned by opening packs—and use them to complete the Kanto Pokedex.

Exploit the Premium Pass Trial

The first 14 days of signing up for the Premium Pass in Pokemon Pocket are free. Use this opportunity to unlock more packs and complete extra missions. This can increase your chances of getting most Kanto cards for free.

Wait for the Trade Feature

Trading is likely to help complete Themed Collections. Although the exact mechanics aren’t confirmed, if they follow previous games, you should be able to collect most of your missing cards in the Kanto collection through trading.

Should You Invest in Unlocking Mew?

Investing time and energy in Mew isn’t worthwhile unless you’re determined to collect every card in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Mew is mostly a showpiece, valued for its rarity rather than its utility. If you’re in for the long haul, not having Mew in your decks won’t significantly impact your gameplay.
