Mathfag here, that's actually not known. It's conjectured that every possible combination of digits appears in pi's decimal expansion (that's called being a "normal" number), but it hasn't been proven, and it doesn't follow from the fact that it's infinite and nonrepeating. And to the people saying certain number combinations are impossible: no they're not, they're just unlikely.
i can't supply a proof but i would venture a guess that certain number combinations are impossible. for example, 50,000,000 zeroes side by side. There may be a proof out there that shows that numbers cannot repeat past a certain amount due to the nature of the calculation. idk for sure though
What is a transcendental number anyway? I'd really like to know since I can't seem to find anybody who can explain it to me.

Simply put, a transcendental number has two properties. The first being that it must be irrational, i.e. it cannot be expressed as a fraction. The second is that it cannot be the solution to an equation with rational coefficients. For example, both pi and e are transcendental for these reasons but sqrt(2) is not because while it cannot be expressed as a fraction, it is the solution to the equation x^2-2=0
