Ah, the seventh expansion has arrived in Pokémon TCG Pocket, and it's got a name that sounds like a dramatic sunset: Crimson Blaze. Just like its six older siblings, this themed booster pack brought its own little bag of tricks—secret missions that whisper promises of fantastic rewards to those who can crack their code. The catch? The game itself is playing hard to get and won't tell you what these missions are. Talk about a classic case of "you gotta know a guy who knows a guy." Thankfully, for all the trainers out there feeling a bit lost, the community has done the detective work, and we've got the full scoop right here.

The Quintet of Covert Ops

There are five secret missions hiding in the Crimson Blaze expansion. The first two are like old friends, following the familiar "museum collection" pattern we've seen before. They're the reliable ones, asking you to be a completionist. The other three, however, are where things get spicy and specific.

Let's break them down, shall we?

Mission 1 & 2: The Art Connoisseur & The Rainbow Hunter

These two are a package deal for the collectors. One mission wants you to gather every single Art Rare card from the set. We're talking about the stunning, gallery-worthy illustrations that make your binder weep with joy. The targets for this artistic heist are:

  • Ariados

  • Sunflora

  • Reuniclus

  • Xerneas

  • Trubbish (yes, even the trash bag Pokémon gets to be beautiful)

  • Buneary

Your reward for this artistic endeavor? A tidy sum of 36 Wonder Hourglasses, 12 Pack Hourglasses, and 10 Shop Tickets. Not too shabby!

The second mission in this duo is all about the bling. It demands you collect all the Rainbow Rare versions of the Mega Evolution Pokémon-ex cards in Crimson Blaze. These are the cards that look like they've been dipped in a prismatic waterfall. The checklist here is:

  • Mega Venusaur ex (Rainbow Rare)

  • Mega Blastoise ex (Rainbow Rare)

  • Mega Lopunny ex (Rainbow Rare)

  • Mega Steelix ex (Rainbow Rare)

Complete this shiny quest, and you'll be showered with the same bounty: 36 Wonder Hourglasses, 12 Pack Hourglasses, and 10 Shop Tickets.

Mission 3: The Charizard Y Fan Club President

This one's for the devotees of the fiery dragon. This secret mission is a deep dive into one specific Pokémon: Mega Charizard Y ex. It doesn't just want one copy; oh no. It wants you to collect every available iteration of this card in the Crimson Blaze set. That means tracking down:

  1. The standard Mega Charizard Y ex

  2. The Special Illustration Rare (SIR) version

  3. The Immersive Rare version

Get all three, and you'll earn... you guessed it, 36 Wonder Hourglasses, 12 Pack Hourglasses, and 10 Shop Tickets. The rewards are consistent, but the hunt is unique!

Mission 4: The Venusaur Family Reunion Organizer

If Mission 3 was about depth, Mission 4 is about breadth and legacy. This is a real "gotta catch 'em all" scenario, but for an entire evolutionary line. Your goal is to assemble the complete Venusaur family tree, from its humble beginnings to its mega-powered finale. The checklist is a journey:

  • Bulbasaur

  • Ivysaur

  • Venusaur

  • Venusaur ex

  • Venusaur ex (Special Illustration Rare)

  • Venusaur ex (Rainbow Rare)

  • And the pièce de résistance: The Mega Venusaur Emblem

Phew! That's a lot of plant-based Pokémon. It's like putting together a family photo album where every relative is a different level of giant, flower-backed dinosaur.

Mission 5: The Mega Evolution League

Last but not least, we have the mission that celebrates raw power. This one tasks you with collecting the base, standard Mega Evolution Pokémon-ex cards from the set. Forget the rainbow versions for this one; this is about getting the core powerful monsters. Your targets are:

  • Mega Venusaur ex

  • Mega Charizard Y ex

  • Mega Blastoise ex

  • Mega Lopunny ex

  • Mega Steelix ex

  • And as a final trophy, the Mega Blastoise Emblem

Don't Forget the Regular Crew!

Now, while chasing these five secret missions is like finding hidden treasure, let's not overlook the eleven regular themed collections for Crimson Blaze. The game is much more forthright about these; you can check their requirements anytime in the Missions menu. They're the straightforward tasks—collect all Fire-type cards, get a certain number of ex cards, etc.—that offer their own set of rewards to help you on your journey. Think of them as the reliable side quests that keep the resources flowing while you hunt for the big, secret prizes.

So there you have it, trainer. The veil has been lifted on Crimson Blaze's secret missions. It's a mix of artistic appreciation, shiny hunting, familial dedication, and pure power collection. Some of these are a real grind—I mean, getting every version of a specific Charizard? That's the kind of goal that makes your pack-opening finger cramp up just thinking about it. But the rewards are tempting, and the bragging rights? Absolutely priceless. Now get out there and start blazin' through those packs! Just remember, your wallet might need a pep talk first.
