Guide to Unlocking the Secret Shaymin Emblem in Pokemon TCG Pocket

In the ever-evolving world of Pokemon TCG Pocket, players eagerly anticipate discovering secret emblems with each new set release. The latest installment, known as Triumphant Light, introduces an ultra-rare emblem featuring Shaymin. This article will guide you through the process of unlocking this coveted item.

It’s essential to note that not every reader will have the opportunity to obtain this secret emblem due to the difficulty level involved in completing a specific secret mission. This task demands significant effort, requiring players to gather several rare cards from the Pokemon TCG Pocket collection.

Unlocking the Secret Shaymin Emblem

The Secret Mission to get the special emblem. by u/Much-Statistician715 in PTCGP

To unlock the Shaymin emblem, players must successfully complete the “Pokemon from Ancient Records”secret mission. This challenge involves collecting a total of seven cards: six Pokemon and one Trainer. Specifically, you need to assemble four rare cards, one double rare, one art rare, and one super rare card.

As a hidden Themed Collection, the “Pokemon from Ancient Records”mission will not reveal its requirements until you have gathered all specified cards. This is distinctly different from the previous set, Space-Time Smackdown, which offered the Garchomp emblem following a similar mission. However, the Triumphant Light miniset provides players with a more accessible objective by requiring only one super rare card, specifically the two-star Celestic Town Elder.

Steps to Complete the ‘Pokemon from Ancient Records’ Mission

Pokemon/Trainer	Card Number	Rarity
Heatran	A2a 013/096	Rare (three-diamond)
Palkia (Origin Forme)	A2a 023/096	Rare (three-diamond)
Dialga (Origin Forme)	A2a 060/096	Rare (three-diamond)
Giratina	A2a 061/096	Rare (three-diamond)
Arceus ex	A2a 071/096	Double Rare (four-diamond)
Shaymin	A2a 081/096	Art Rare (one-star)
Celestic Town Elder	A2a 088/096	Super Rare (two-star)

The completion of the “Pokemon from Ancient Records”mission is card-specific, meaning you must collect the precise cards listed above to fulfill the requirements. If you have all the necessary cards but still do not see the emblem reward, consider clearing the game’s cache. Some players have found this step beneficial in resolving reward-related bugs.

To clear the cache in Pokemon TCG Pocket, restart the game without tapping the screen at the title menu. Instead, go to the top-right corner menu and select “Clear Cache.” This process won’t affect your saved data and can be a useful fix for various in-game issues.
