Usually, getting a full art card is very difficult inside the game, as you’re relying on your pack luck. That’s where the Mew item feels different – it’s one of those rare full art cards that have no essence of luck at all. However, the game doesn’t exactly tell you on your face about how to get this specific card. That said, it’s relatively easy, and you can get your hand on the item pretty quickly.

How to get Mew in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Mew’s full art card is a reward for completing your Kanto dex. In simpler words, you can find the card by obtaining all 150 Kanto cards that are currently available in Pokemon TCG Pocket. The best way to do this is by opening all three types of Genetic Apex packs available inside the store – Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Charizard.

For more clarification, you’ll only want the basic cards of the 150 Pokemon, which are far easier to pull. These cards also have higher odds of being pulled from the packs, which will certainly help the cause.

How to get Mew for free in Pokemon TCG Pocket

As the main objective is to complete your dex, you’ll want to open as many packs as possible. That means using all the pack hourglasses as well, which can accumulate by completing different activities. You’ll also want to open all three packs, as completing the dex otherwise won’t be possible.

Make sure to be on the lookout for Wonder Picks as well, as they can help you to complete your collection faster. Sure, you’ll still be relying on your luck, but try to use them on packs that consist of more items not present in your collection.

Having the Premium Pass also helps, but I won’t consider that as free since you’ll need to spend $10 every month to avail yourself of its benefits. But what you can use for free are your Pack Points, and use these items as your trump card. Don’t spend them on the cards immediately – wait for how your collection looks like once you’ve completed 130-140 Pokemon cards. That way, you won’t have to depend on your luck to complete the remainder of your collection.

That’s pretty much it when it comes to obtaining Mew in Pokemon TCG Pocket. While the card looks gorgeous, it can hardly be considered as the current meta.
