Here goes then:
Dark Vileplume-Team Rocket 13/82
The card was accidentally printed with a weakness to Fighting, but the real weakness should have been Fire. Iv included a scan of the correct card for comparison:
Rapidash-Jungle
The card was printed with "Put Rapidash on the Stage 1 card" instead of "Put Rapidash on the Basic Pokemon"
Vulpix-Base Set
This card was printed with HP50 instead of 50HP. This was only corrected very late in the printing run of the set, so it's rarer to find the corrected card.
Dark Arbok-Team Rocket
Almost every one of these cards (maybe all) were printed with incorrect copright dates.
Seaking-Jungle
This card was printed with the same error as Rapidash, it says: "Put Seaking on the Stage 1 card". [The scan is from www.Pokebeach.com]
Blastoise-Base Set
The card was missing the word Stage in "Put Blastoise on the Stage 1 card". Sorry for the bad scan, my scanner was being stupid again lol.
All contributions are really appreciated so if you have any scans (I only need scans at the moment), please PM me! thanks!
Ninetails-Base Set
Alot of Base Set Ninetails were missing the damage (80) on their second attack! The scan is from Pokegym.
Koga's Ninja Trick-Japanese Gym Challenge
This card caused alot of controversy when it was released, as a symbol in the card's illustration was very familiar to a nazi swastika. This card was changed for later Japanese sets, and for the American set! [The scan is from Ebay]
Unown O- Neo Revelation
In the PokePower, it says "once during you turn", instead of "once during your turn"!
Shining Tyranitar- Neo Destiny
This one's pretty well known, it says "hust" instead of "just" in the flavour text. Every one of these cards had this error. Sorry for the bad scan, my scanners being really stupid at the moment, I'll have it fixed as soon as possible!
Team Magma's Camerupt- EX Team Magma Vs. Team Aqua
In Camerupt's PokePower, Team Magma has been misspelt as Team Mamga! Sorry for the continued bad scan quality!
Horsea- Neo Genesis
The energy symbols for Horsea's attack are mis-aligned, and one looks as though some of it is missing. Scanner's back to normal now!
Rocket's Minefield Gym-Gym Challenge
In the effect of the card, it says "Put damage counters on that Pokemon", and doesn't specify the ammount od damaged to be placed. Almost every one of the cards has this eroor so it's rarer to find a correct one. Note: It should say "Put 2 Damage counters on that Pokemon". [The scan is courtesy of airconditioning]
Dark Persian-PROMO
The card was printed without its HP. Does this make it the most ultimate invicible card? Finally, a Kingdra counter!
Yeah the scan is rubbish, but it's the only one I could find. Sorry!
Lanturn-Legend Maker
In the last line of the second attack, the word "then" should read "than". Thanks to Dimentio for this info!
Gastly-Stormfront
In Gastly's first attack, it should read "your oppenents", instead of "you opponents". Thanks to Pokefan4000 for this info!
Kakuna and bulbasaur - Base set
Some of the first edition cards were printed with "Length XX Length XX" instead of "Length XX Weight XX"
Empoleon Lvl. X - Diamond and Pearl
The Poke Body should actually have been a Poke Power, but they printed the wrong symbol.
Electrode - Jungle
The card was accidentally printed with the artwork of the Base Set Elecetrode, this is apparent in all of the 1st Ed Jungle Electrodes. (Sorry for the rubbish picture, it's the only one I could find.)
Dark Raichu - Team Rocket
In the top right corner, it should say 'Put Dark Raichu on the basic Pokemon', however it says instead: 'Put Raichu on the basic Pokemon'.
Lugia Legend (Bottom Half) - HGSS
In the bottom left corner, in the flavour text, 'It' has been spelled with two 'I's. Is this apparent in all of them? Reply BBEEEELLLOOOWWWWW....
Prerelease Raichu - Base Set
The most sought after misprint, and possibly card, in the world! Only 8-11 of these exist, and so far there is only 1 confirmed photo of a real one.
In light of a recent thread about a possible second confirmed photo, I'v added this to the database.
The confirmed photo:
The unconfirmed but maybe real NEW photo of a second raichu, owned by zeboosh14:
And the close up of the prerelease stamp on zeboosh14's card, as taken from his thread:
Zeboosh14 has confirmed his Raichu as photoshop job!
The link to the Pokegym article on the PR Raichu, well worth a read: http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=32583&page=2
Mareep - POP 7
It's unknown how many have this misprint, but it seems alot, if not all of the POP 7 Mareeps were printed without an artist name. The pic is from eBay, and shows the POP 7 Mareep compared to the normal card without the error.
Lanturn - Aquapolis
Again, I don't know how many of the RH versions of this card were printed with the error, but many had a Poke Body symbol with no text following it. Thanks to Dichromate for the scan!
Metal Energy - HS Undaunted
The card is missing a full stop after the {M} symbol in the text.
Mewtwo - First Movie Promo
The only time I have ever seen one like this, where the card had gone through the stamping machine upside down. Presumably there is at least one full sheet of cards printed like this. Thanks to SuperMatt142 for the scan!
