Pokemon TCG Pocket glitch causes bizarre “MissingNo. pack”
A Pokemon TCG Pocket player has experienced a strange texture bug that caused their cards to look like a classic Pokemon glitch referred to as MissingNo.
Pokemon TCG Pockethas its claws in fans of the mobile game. Between its funmeta deck buildingand the colectathon of rare cards at its core, it can be hard to put down.
The introduction of the newSpace-Time Smackdownset has freshened things up withseveral new cardsto use in both of those pursuits. While it’s always nice to stumble across a particularly elusive Pokemon or a useful meta staple, one player got an entirely different sort of surprise.

Jokingly referring to the incident as their first “MissingNo. pack”, mole_man1992 posted a series of screenshots of the error. Three of the pack’s five cards were revealed to be a pixelated mess.
MissingNo. is a well-known glitchfrom the first generation of Pokemon games that causes an unidentified monster to appear. Its in-game sprite is usually a misshapen oblong of scattered pixels that somewhat resemble the bugged cards shown above.
Another player in the thread queried whether or not the cards maintained their appearance after being placed into mole_man1992’s collection. “It only happened when I opened the pack,” theyexplained. “They went back to normal as soon as they went into the collection.”
Others jested about the idea of “digital misprints” suggesting that the cards be graded and sold. In the physical version of the Pokemon TCG, cards with printing errors or botched cuts are highly sought after by niche collectors.
