How to get Mew in Pokémon TCG Pocket

To get Mew in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you’ll need to collect at least one copy of every Kanto Pokémon card, which totals to 150 unique cards.

Luckily, full art and EX cards do count towards your total card count, but promo cards unfortunately don’t. For example, if you have a Pikachu EX card, but don’t have a standard Pikachu card, it’ll count towards the 150 cards needed for Mew.

Checking your progress in Pokémon TCG Pocket can be a little difficult as you can’t sort your cards by region. If you don’t mind using external tools, then Reddit user maxwell1755 created a useful spreadsheet that allows you to keep track of what cards you own and which cards you need, including a handy “Mew Tracker” table that calculates the total number of missing cards in each pack, and also shows which pack has the highest likelihood of containing a new card.
