Secret missions appear in the missions tab after they've been completed and are ready to be redeemed for rewards, but until then there's no way of knowing that they're there (unless you're using the guide above, of course).

It's likely that we'll see more secret missions added in the future as more cards are added, but right now it's worth keeping a lot of these in mind as you progress. While it's hard to target specific cards without burning through Pack Points, the sheer amount of Pokemon TCG Pocket currencies at stake means that it could be worth buying a couple to reach the required amount. Besides, a lot of these cards go towards some of the best Pokemon TCG Pocket decks anyway, so what do you have to lose?
