Pokemon China is turning the release window for Chasing Glory Together into a Team Rocket-themed store mission. From July 16 through July 30, selected official Pokemon Card Gyms hide NFC clues that lead to a personalized Secret Member profile.
Plan Your Visit Before You Go
For the digital profile, choose one of the 15 designated gyms and make sure NFC is enabled. For the limited sleeve, treat mini-program verification, the eligible event, and the in-stock redemption store as three separate checks.
If the bag is the goal, bring the 99 CNY purchase to a participating location during the campaign window. In every case, the official campaign page and the mini-program's current store list are the final source of truth.
The same campaign also offers a limited Secret Member card-holder sleeve through eligible gym events, plus a Team Rocket paper bag with qualifying purchases at participating gyms and official pop-up or semi-permanent stores. This guide separates the three offers so visitors can plan the right stop before going.
How the Limited Card-Holder Sleeve Works
The Secret Member card-holder sleeve is a separate reward from the NFC profile. First complete real-name verification in the Pokemon Card Member mini-program. Then attend one qualifying activity between July 16 and 30, and check the special task named for building Team Rocket's Grand Scheme until it shows the reward as claimed.
The claim voucher appears under Tasks, Reward Center, Physical Rewards, and Pending Use in the mini-program. It can be redeemed only at a listed store with stock after the recipient presents the voucher QR code and an identity document matching the verified account. Pokemon China states there are 130,000 sleeves, limited to one per person while supplies last.
Qualifying activities are selected Welcome Newcomers, Special Events, or Battle events shown in the mini-program; campus activities are excluded.
The recipient, verified mini-program account, and identity document must match.
One sleeve per person, while the 130,000-unit campaign allocation lasts.
Check the voucher's available-store list and confirm inventory with the store before visiting.
Find the Clues and Create Your Profile
Look for Pokemon standees connected to the Team Rocket cards in the Chasing Glory Together expansion. Enable NFC on a phone and touch the R mark on each standee to begin. The required set is two Pokemon belonging to Team Rocket Grunts plus one Pokemon belonging to a Team Rocket Executive or the Team Rocket Boss.
Completing that combination generates a personalized Secret Member profile. This is a location-based activity: the official instructions place the clues inside the participating gyms, so checking store hours and confirming that the campaign is running before travelling is sensible.
The campaign's Secret Member visual identity uses a black-and-red R design.
Dates and Main Activities
The campaign runs from July 16 to July 30, 2026. The NFC clue hunt is limited to 15 official Pokemon Card Gyms in Beijing, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Shenyang, and Wuhan. Pokemon China publishes the full store list and notes that local availability can change.
- Find NFC clues at an eligible official Pokemon Card Gym to create a digital Secret Member profile.
- Join one eligible gym event and complete the mini-program task for a chance to claim a Secret Member card-holder sleeve.
- Spend 99 CNY at a participating gym, official pop-up store, or semi-permanent store for a chance to receive a Team Rocket paper bag.
Team Rocket Shopping Bag Offer
A separate purchase promotion runs on the same dates. Spend at least 99 CNY at a listed official Pokemon Card Gym, official pop-up store, or official semi-permanent store to have a chance to receive one Team Rocket-themed paper bag. The official page lists participating sites across cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and more.
This is not the same as the card-holder sleeve reward. Confirm the participating-store list and stock with the store, because the official notice says logistics and inventory can delay or end individual-store activity early.
The qualifying-purchase gift uses the campaign's black-and-red Team Rocket shopping bag design.
