How to get the secret Mew in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Pokemon TCG Pocket mixes the new and old generation cards, giving you the nostalgia of generation one combined with the fresh feeling of the later additions.

One specific Pokemon that has stood the test of time is Mew and you can get a secret version in the game.

Here, we’ll reveal how to get Mew in Pokemon TCG Pocket so you can add this elusive ‘mon to your collection just like it’s 1996.

How to get Mew in Pokemon TCG Pocket

If you want to get Mew in Pokemon TCG Pocket, you will unfortunately be testing your pack luck much more than if you’re chasing just the one card.

This is because Mew can only be acquired by collecting the original 150 Pokemon and completing the Kanto Pokedex, meaning you’ll have to open a serious amount of packs in order to even get close to that figure.

What we recommend is that if you want Mew as fast as possible, ensure you sign up for at least the two week free trial of the Premium Pass and look to complete as many missions as possible.

Don’t be afraid to go into the battling portion of the game too as you’ll be getting even more rewards as well.

This will enable you to receive as many rewards as possible, coupled with more packs at your disposal, meaning more chances to secure the full Kanto Pokedex.

Once you do complete the ‘Dex, enter your Themed Collections in the Dex Missions and you’ll see that you will have completed this secret challenge.

While it’s a pretty big challenge to collect all of the Pokemon required to secure Mew, in our opinion, it’s more than worth the chase.

This is due to the fact that this Mew card isn’t just your regular variant and instead, is a three gold star Immersive Art card akin to that of the Mewtwo that was showcased in the marketing for the game.

You likely won’t be using the card to battle due to its poor attacking capabilities, it’s definitely one of those that you’ll be adding to your showcase!
