With the arrival of the Mega Rising expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket, collectors are buzzing about the hidden secret missions that reward dedicated players with tons of goodies. These special themed collections are completely invisible until you complete them, so knowing what to chase is half the battle. In this handy guide, you’ll discover every single secret mission, the cards you need, and the prizes waiting for you. Let’s get hunting! 🎉

What Are Secret Missions? 🔍
Unlike regular themed collections that you can track in your mission menu, secret missions are totally stealthy. You won’t see any progress bar or hint – the rewards simply pop out once you’ve pulled all the required cards. Mega Rising brings eight brand-new secret missions, and seven of them follow the classic museum format. The eighth is a special Bug-type extravaganza that nets you an exclusive emblem to show off your collection prowess. 🏆
If you’ve been playing for a while, you know that missing a secret mission means leaving easy Pack Hourglasses and Shop Tickets on the table. So let’s break down exactly what you need to grab.

The Ultimate Secret Mission: A Swarm of Bug Pokémon! 🐛🦟
This is the eighth secret mission and the only one that doesn’t follow the museum formula. To unlock the Mega Pinsir emblem – a gorgeous badge for your profile – you need to collect a buzzing hive of bug‑type cards. The requirements are specific and plentiful, but the emblem is forever. 💚

Here’s the full bug list:
| Required Card | Rarity Hint |
|---|---|
| 🦋 Pinsir | Regular |
| 🦋 Mega Pinsir ex | Regular EX |
| 🐛 Wurmple | Common |
| 🐚 Silcoon | Uncommon |
| 🌸 Beautifly | Rare |
| 🐚 Cascoon | Uncommon |
| 🌙 Dustox | Rare |
| 🕷️ Joltik | Common |
| ⚡ Galvantula | Uncommon |
| 🦂 Skorupi | Common |
| 🐜 Durant | Uncommon |
| 🌸 Beautifly Art Rare | Art Rare |
| 🌟 Mega Pinsir ex ★★ (full art) | 2-star |
| 🌈 Mega Pinsir ex Rainbow Rare | Rainbow Rare |
That’s 14 specific cards, including all three versions of Mega Pinsir ex. Once you’ve ticked every box, the Mega Pinsir Emblem will automatically be added to your inventory. 🏅
Many players report that the hardest part is pulling the rainbow Mega Pinsir, since rainbow rares appear very, very rarely in packs. A little patience (and maybe some Wonder Pick luck) goes a long way.
Bonus: Regular Mega Rising Themed Collections 🎯
Beyond the secret missions, Mega Rising is stuffed with 25 regular themed collections that you can track straight from the in‑game missions menu. While they don’t hide from you, they still offer a mountain of Emblem Tickets, Wonder Hourglasses, and even three special profile icons.
To snag those exclusive icons, keep an eye out for:
-
🐸 Froakie cards – collect enough and a Froakie icon is yours.
-
⚡ Yamper cards – another cute icon for good boys and girls.
-
🌑 Darkrai cards – the edgy icon every dark‑type fan needs.
These themed collections are a fantastic way to earn rewards while you’re chasing the secret missions. Double‑dipping on hourglasses? Yes please! 😋
Pro Tips for Completion 🧠
-
Focus your pack openings – The set has three different booster pack arts. Check which packs contain the cards you need most by using the dropdown “Offering Rates” button. 📊
-
Wonder Pick wisely – Art rares and rainbow rares often show up in friends’ picks. Save your Wonder Stamina and jump when you see a needed card. 🌟
-
Trade with friends – If trading is available for this set, don’t be shy about swapping duplicates. One trainer’s extra Hippowdon is another’s museum completion. 🔄
-
Don’t stress the rainbow rares – They’re meant to be long‑term goals. Even partial completion gives you hefty rewards, so enjoy the journey.
-
Check the Bug Swarm emblem progress – Since you can’t see the mission, keep a screenshot of the bug card list and manually mark them off as you go. This prevents frustration and double‑checking. 📸
All told, the Mega Rising secret missions are a brilliant addition to Pokémon TCG Pocket. They reward both casual collectors and hardcore completionists, and the Mega Pinsir emblem is a true flex. Best of luck pulling those shiny rainbows and swarming with bugs! 🐞✨
