Unlocking Mew in Pokémon TCG Pocket: A Guide

  In Pokémon TCG Pocket, the Mew card stands out as one of the rarest and most coveted cards in the game. Unlike other cards, you can't simply pull Mew from booster packs. Instead, obtaining this elusive card requires you to complete a special mission, making it a unique challenge for players. While it may not be meta-relevant, the Mew card is a prize for dedicated players, offering a special animation once it's unlocked.

  How to Obtain Mew in Pokémon TCG Pocket

  To unlock Mew, players must complete the “Complete the Kanto Pokédex” mission by collecting all 150 unique Kanto Pokémon cards. This includes various types of cards, such as full art and EX cards, but promo cards do not count towards the total. For example, a Pikachu EX card will count as part of your collection, but if you’re missing the regular Pikachu card, you’ll need to find it as well.

  Tracking your progress can be tricky, as the game doesn't allow you to sort your cards by region. To make this process easier, players can use external tools like a helpful spreadsheet created by Reddit user maxwell1755. This tracker not only shows which cards you’ve collected but also highlights which cards are missing and indicates which packs have the highest chances of containing a new Kanto Pokémon.

  Tips for Unlocking Mew Faster

  Since collecting all 150 Kanto Pokémon cards is a big task, here are a few tips to help speed up the process:

  1. Use Wonder Picks Wisely: Wonder Picks are a great tool for finding cards you don’t already own. The cards you’ve collected are marked with a binder icon in the bottom left corner, so you can easily spot new additions to your collection. Focus on picking packs that feature cards without the binder, as they are likely to contain the Kanto Pokémon you're missing.

  2. Spend Pack Points on Specific Cards: If you’re close to completing your Kanto Pokédex but can’t find a specific Pokémon, use your pack points to buy targeted cards. This can be especially useful when you need a final card or two to reach the 150 mark. Just remember, if you already have one version of a card (like a Gengar), you don’t need to chase other versions, such as Gengar EX or Full Art.

  3. Open the Right Packs: Each booster pack contains a different set of cards, and it’s essential to focus on packs that are more likely to contain the Kanto Pokémon you need. Use the spreadsheet mentioned earlier to help guide you toward the right packs, saving time and effort in the process.

  By following these tips and carefully tracking your progress, you’ll be able to unlock Mew in Pokémon TCG Pocket more efficiently. And once you have the card, the excitement of seeing its special animation makes the effort worthwhile.

  For those looking to get a head start on collecting the necessary cards, you can also consider purchasing through platforms like U4GM to help fill in the gaps of your Kanto Pokédex. Creating a Pokemon TCG Pocke account can be a great way to track your progress and access additional resources for your collection.
