All Pokemon TCG Pocket secret missions are laid out here, including the requirements for completing them and the rewards attached. While PTCGP is full of challenges to complete, it's the secret missions that inevitably have the best rewards attached to them. But with the game hiding what they are until they're completed, it's hard to know what to aim for without help.

So that's where I come in. I've collated every secret mission in Pokemon TCG Pocket and how to complete it, divided by booster set (as each expansion brings in new ones). I'll be updating this page in real time as new ones are added in the future, so keep and eye out! Here's all the secret missions for Pokemon TCG Pocket, up to date for May 2025 and the Celestial Guardians expansion.

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, varies - Triumphant Light added four, but the later Pokemon TCG Pocket Shining Revelry expansion added 8! While it's hard to target specific cards 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?
