All Pokemon TCG Pocket Secret Missions (Updated for Paldean Wonders)

Pokemon TCG Pocket Secret Missions and Challenges are a range of hidden achievements that tend to come with major rewards, but PTCGP won't tell you how to unlock them in advance. The only way to discover a secret mission is to actually complete it, as only then is it flagged and you get the rewards attached... Or, alternatively, you can check the guide below, where I'll explain how to complete every secret mission in PTCGP, and what you'll get for it!

Secret missions appear in the missions tab after they've been completed and are ready to be redeemed for rewards, but until then there's no way of knowing that they're there until that point (unless you're using the guide above, of course).

Every new expansion has brought with it new Secret missions associated with that expansion, but the number varies – Triumphant Light added four, but the later Pokemon TCG Pocket Shining Revelry expansion added eight! While it's hard to target specific cards for these missions without burning through Pack Points, the sheer amount of Pokemon TCG Pocket currencies at stake means that it could be worth buying a couple to reach the required amount. Besides, a lot of these cards go towards some of the best Pokemon TCG Pocket decks anyway, so what do you have to lose?
