A hidden challenge has emerged in Pokémon TCG Pocket’s latest expansion, Eevee Grove, offering a high-stakes opportunity for dedicated collectors. The newly added secret mission tasks players with acquiring a specific lineup of rare two-star cards: Flareon ex, Sylveon ex, Dragonite ex, Snorlax ex, and Primarina ex.
Rare Card Chase with Steep Odds
Obtaining these rare cards is no small feat. With an estimated drop rate of one two-star rarity card per 1,250 Packs, completing the mission is a considerable grind. Despite this, some players have already shared their success stories online, showcasing their complete collections — and igniting a wave of debate within the community.
Rewards That Spark Debate
Players who complete the secret mission are rewarded with:
- 36 Wonder Hourglasses
- 12 Pack Hourglasses
- 10 Shop Tickets
These rewards grant 3 extra Wonder Picks and 1 additional Pack, which, while helpful, are being called underwhelming by many in the community. Critics argue that the effort and luck involved far outweigh the practical value of the reward, especially given the scarcity of the required cards.
Not a First for the Franchise
This isn’t the first time Pokémon TCG Pocket has tied achievements to card collections. Similar secret missions have been available for earlier expansions, keeping dedicated players on their toes with exclusive unlocks hidden behind high collection thresholds.
What’s Next for TCG Pocket?
Looking forward, several new events and releases are already on the calendar:
- Sneak Peek Campaign
- Alcremie Drop Event
- “A4 Expansion” arriving in July
These updates promise fresh content and may bring more collectible-based missions, possibly with improved rewards or different mechanics to keep things interesting.
While the “Eevee Grove” mission may not please everyone, it continues the game’s trend of mixing hidden objectives with collection challenges—appealing to both completionists and hardcore fans of the Pokémon TCG universe.
