Pokemon TCG Pocket Players Figure Out Secret to Getting Mew, but It May Cost You

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that the allure of rare and elusive cards in any game, especially one as iconic as Pokemon, is hard to resist. The anticipation, the challenge, the thrill of the chase – it’s all part of the fun!


As an avid fan, I can’t contain my excitement about the upcoming release of Pokemon TCG Pocket. Even before its official launch, we’ve already witnessed an incredible feat – the capture of the enigmatic Mew card! While Mewtwo was hyped as one of the Immersive Cards, Mew was a mystery, with the acquisition method secret until fans deciphered the unlock conditions.

To capture Mew in the Pokemon TCG Pocket, you’ll need to open a considerable number of packs of Pokemon cards. The reason being, Mew can only be obtained through completing the Kanto Pokedex, which involves collecting all 150 Pokemon including Mewtwo. What makes this task easier is that it doesn’t matter if the Kanto Pokemon you gather are rare or have special variations; what matters most is just having all 150 of those specific Pokemon.

It might seem straightforward, but it’s not an insignificant challenge because the cards you draw are purely random. Add to that a stamina system restricting the number of packs you can open within a certain period, and it becomes clear why spending real money could be the fastest way to obtain Mew. Given this is a free-to-play mobile game, this outcome was likely anticipated.

Player WillowCCG, from Pokemon TCG Pocket, is among several individuals who have obtained the Mew card. Interestingly, WillowCCG claims to be the first and has shared their victory on various forums such as Reddit to flaunt their impressive collection, which features the highly sought-after Mew card.

Congratulations, you’ve officially become the first owner of a Mew! You achieve this milestone by gathering all the other cards in your collection. By the way, I’m also a fan of Pokémon Pocket!

If you’re looking to purchase Mew directly from the Pokemon TCG Pocket game, the cost can fluctuate due to factors like luck, but some players have openly discussed how much they’ve invested. One Reddit user shared their experience and mentioned that they bought a premium pass for the game, along with two packs of Poke Gold – one for NZ$199.99 and another for NZ$69.99. In total, this equates to approximately NZ$270 or around $170 in the U.S., which is a significant expense for acquiring a Mew card.

As a dedicated fan, I’m excited about the upcoming release of Pokemon TCG Pocket. Even though some players have managed to get their hands on Mew before the official launch, it’s clear that the game’s event-rich mobile format will make it easier for more players to acquire Mew once the full version is out. It seems that people are playing early either because they reside in New Zealand where the game has soft launched or due to using VPNs and other methods to trick the system and play ahead of schedule. Regardless of whether players have spent money or not, the speed at which Mew has been obtained by many should be encouraging, especially for free-to-play (F2P) players who aspire to add this card to their collection as well.
