The collectible hunt just got sweeter in Pokemon TCG Pocket. The newest expansion, Eevee Grove, changes the rules with its secret Alcremie emblem — and players are buzzing over the unusual way to unlock it.
A Shift from Tradition
Since the game’s first expansion, fans of Pokemon TCG Pocket have grown accustomed to secret emblems hidden in each themed booster pack. These emblems usually require players to complete a specific set of cards — like collecting multiple versions of a Pokémon or its trainers.
In earlier examples, players could unlock the Alolan Dugtrio emblem by gathering three rainbow full-art cards of Dugtrio. Before that, the Wishiwashi emblem required a collection of all its variants and all Lana cards. These emblem hunts have traditionally followed a clear, fixed pattern.
But with the Eevee Grove set, that formula has been shaken up — in the sweetest way possible.
The Alcremie Emblem: Seven Sweet Paths
To unlock the Alcremie secret emblem, players must collect 100 copies of any one of seven specific Pokémon:
-
Milcery
-
Alcremie
-
Swirlix
-
Slurpuff
-
Appletun
-
Vanillite
-
Vanillish
This is the first time in the game’s history that players can choose from multiple Pokémon to complete an emblem challenge — and it’s caused quite a stir. The mission doesn’t even appear in the Themed Collection menu until the requirement has been fulfilled, making it an entirely hidden objective.
A recent post from UniteVids on X brought the mechanic to light, sparking discussion among players about which route is the most efficient. Some collectors are targeting Milcery, due to its lower card pool, while others are going all-in on Swirlix or Vanillite.
What This Means for Players
The Alcremie emblem challenge represents a refreshing change. Instead of being bound to one fixed collection path, players have flexibility — a rare treat in TCG grinds. It also adds replay value and encourages strategic decisions based on market rarity and card availability.
It’s unclear if this new flexible approach will continue in future expansions, but one thing’s for sure: the bar for emblem hunting has just been raised.
The secret Alcremie emblem is a bold evolution of Pokemon TCG Pocket’s collectible system. By letting players choose between seven Pokémon and hiding the mission entirely, the Eevee Grove expansion gives long-time fans a fun new puzzle to solve — and a reason to stock up on their favorite sweet-themed cards.
Whether you chase Milcery or build a Swirlix stash, the road to Alcremie is yours to choose. Just be prepared to collect 100 copies — and keep your eye out for what surprises future sets might bring.
