Full POP 8 Set List, Info, Three Scans

POP 8 is now available at some Pokemon Leagues! Each POP 8 booster pack comes with three cards instead of the usual two. The additional card is a basic Energy card of any type (in the spirit of the Energy League season, apparently); this also includes basic Darkness and Metal energy. The POP 8 booster pack art features Heatran.

If you are a player, this set’s redeeming qualities are the Roseanne’s Research, Rare Candy, Night Maintenance, and Basic Darkness and Metal Energy you can pull from the packs.

Click the links below for scans. Thanks go to Kemony, Epierce33, Shaymin492, and Torterra Chips for contributing information to the set list from the cards they pulled, and Kemony for providing us with a couple of scans!

Lucario was the promo card given out at Japan’s 2008 Battle Roads tournaments. Who knows where the Piplup, Turtwig, and Chimchar cards come from – there are about 10,000 reprints of them with different artwork.
