How to get the hidden Mew card in Pokémon TCG Pocket 

There are scores of incredible digital cards to pick up and add to your collection in Pokémon TCG Pocket—but have you got the hidden Mew card yet?

It’s one of the most striking immersive cards currently in the game. Here’s how you can add the beloved critter to your Pokémon TCG Pocket collection and see the animation for yourself, along with some tips on how to get to the Kanto-themed achievement quicker.

How to add Mew to your Pokémon TCG Pocket collection

To get the Mew immersive card in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you need to complete the Kanto Pokédex in your collection tab. This means picking up at least one copy of every Kanto Pokémon in the game to get the secret card.

When you have all of the Kanto Pokémon cards in your collection, you can redeem the achievement in the Themed Collections section of the Missions tab. It will pop up automatically, letting you tap the Completed button and add the card to your collection tab.

Getting to this many cards (150, to be exact) is no easy feat in Pokémon TCG Pocket.

If you want the Mew immersive card, you need to time your pack openings well and make the most out of your Pack Hourglasses.

Complete your daily missions and remember to claim any thank-you rewards from online matches with other players to pick up Shop Tickets. Shop Tickets can be spent on Pack Hourglasses at the in-game store, which can help to speed up the collection process significantly.

Alternatively, if you’re willing to spend money on the game, be prepared to splash out on Poké Gold or sign up for the Premium Pass to pick up Genetic Apex packs as quickly as possible. For further information about the currencies in Pocket and how they work, check out our full currency guide.

If you’re mainly focused on competitive gameplay in Pokemon TCG Pocket, take a look at the Mew card before sinking hours into getting it. It’s not the most competitively viable card out there, with just one 20-damage attack that also doubles up as a deck reveal for your opponent.

It could certainly be used creatively in a deck, perhaps alongside other Psychic-types or even Dark-types, but it’s not worth chasing unless you’re a collector. As a collector, this is an immensely valuable card, thanks to its adorable, immersive design, and it’ll look perfect in a digital display slab.
