Pokémon TCG Pocket: How To Complete All Mythical Island Secret Missions

Pokémon TCG Pocket just launched its first expansion, Mythical Island, and some new secret missions along with it. As players may know, there are more missions in Pokémon TCG Pocket than initially appear on the missions tab. When players collect themed groups of certain Pokémon, they will sometimes complete a surprise secret mission that offers them rewards like pack hourglasses or shop tickets. Genetic Apex - Pokémon TCG Pocket’s first set - had seven secret missions to complete. Mythical Island just added four more, an understandably smaller number for a much smaller set.

Just like Genetic Apex’s secret missions, the new Mythical Island ones all involve collecting certain types of Pokémon. This typically involves having to pull some of the rarest cards in the set, meaning these could take a little while to achieve. That’s especially true for people who don’t pay to play Pokémon TCG Pocket. With Pack Points not transferring between sets, you'll have to get pretty lucky to finish these missions within the first few days after release.

Most of Mythical Island’s secret missions involve the set’s headliner Pokémon, Mew, in some way. Three out of four of the new missions require you to get at least one copy of Mew ex, which is also one of the hardest to pull. The easiest-to-collect version of Mew ex is a four-diamond card, with the others being two-star cards or a crown card. You will also need to find some other rare cards to finish these secret missions.

Mythical Island Museum 1

Card Name Mythical Island Collector Number Exeggutor #069 Serperior #070 Salandit #071 Vaporeon #072 Dedenne #073 Marshadow #074

To complete Mythical Island Museum 1, you'll have to collect six different full-art versions of Pokémon from the new set. These are all one-star cards which, according to Pokémon TCG Pocket’s offering rates, have a 0.428% chance of pulling from a Regular Pack. These cards can also be obtained for 400 Pack Points each, the equivalent of opening 80 packs of Mythical Island. If that prospect seems intimidating, it’s worth noting that this isn’t even the most difficult Mythical Island secret mission to finish.

For finishing this quest, you receive 12 Pack Hourglasses, 36 Wonder Hourglasses, and 10 Shop Tickets. Getting a single pack and maybe one good Wonder Pick from a quest like this is a little underwhelming. That said, don't get your hopes up about any of the secret missions from this set.

Mythical Island Museum 2

Card Name Mythical Island Collector Number Mew ex #083 Aerodactyl ex #084

Mythical Island Museum 2 has far fewer Pokémon to collect than the first Mythical Museum quest. You only need to grab the immersive versions of two Pokémon: Mew ex and Aerodactyl ex. That said, the chances of pulling these two-star cards are far lower than pulling the one-star cards from the previous mission. Offering rates for these cards are only 0.050% in Regular Packs, and buying them with Pack Points is far more difficult since they cost 1250 Points each. This quest has the same reward as the previous quest.

Mew Ex Museum

Card Name Mythical Island Collector Number Mew ex #032 Mew ex #077 Mew ex #083 Mew ex #086

As the name suggests, the Mew ex Museum mission tasks you with collecting every version of Mew ex from the Mythical Island set. There are four versions of Mew ex in this set, starting at four-diamond with a drop rate of 0.333% and ending at crown with a drop rate of 0.040% in Regular Packs.

The other two Mew ex cards are both two-star cards (a 0.050% drop rate). While drawing all versions seems unlikely, buying them with Pack Points almost feels more unobtainable. The total price for all four would be 5500 Points or 1100 packs. The reward here is again just 12 Pack Hourglasses, 36 Wonder Hourglasses, and 10 Shop Tickets.

Mythical Island Tale Of Adventure

Card Name Mythical Island Collector Number Mythical Slab #065 Budding Expeditioner #066 Mew ex #083 Celebi ex #085

Mythical Island Tale of Adventure is the only quest that involves some lower-rarity cards to complete. You will need to get the two-diamond version of Budding Explorer and Mythical Slab. These each have an offering rate of 3.913%, which is far higher than any other card on this list. However, you also need the immersive version of Mew ex and Celebi ex, which both have a 0.050% offering rate. Still, having this quest half-done early on will make it seem easier than the others.

The reward here is a Celebi emblem you can display on your profile, which is essentially just good for digital bragging rights. While this is less exciting than getting a unique card like Mew from Genetic Apex, it also makes sense. Keeping mechanically unique cards hidden behind secret missions is a good way to make players frustrated. Still, a unique art treatment for one of the cards from the set feels like it could be a good compromise.

It seems like Pokémon TCG Pocket is going to balance the rewards from its secret missions based on the size of each set. While the rewards for these secret missions are slightly less exciting than some from Genetic Apex, they are also easier to finish because this is a smaller set with only one type of pack. It’s possible future secret missions could offer more exciting rewards.
