Wasn't sure where to post this, so I did it here.

Anyways, I was at target a few days ago and I got one of those three-pack blisters for $9.99, two rising rivals and a supreme victors. I opened all the packs in the dark and didn't really take a good look at them, but when I got home I looked through them again and took out the Lucario GL I pulled and it was German. I double-checked the rest of the cards to make sure they were English, and they were. It was just the Lucario GL that was foreign.

Is there someone I can call at Pokemon to give me a replacement card/pack?
 
Lolwut? I have never heard of this, except for the Garchomp tins with German Garchomp lv.X's, it seems that English and German cards get swapped the most.
 
There was a mixup with French cards in English packs one time; I think it was for Undaunted. That's the only time I've heard of cards being of the wrong language, though.
 
It's worth contacting Customer Service. I've had similar stuff happen before, and they always send out boosters.
 
Yeah I once got a DP Trainer Kit and all the cards in the Lucario deck (besides Lucario, kind of the opposite of your situation) were German. Not that I cared, I just thought it was funny.
 
It seems like German cards get mixed up alot with normal ones, I know it happened with Garchomp tins before. Me and my brother even pulled Spanish Burger King Promos from our Platinum packs before.
 
The cards only took up the RH for each pack, but they sent out a pack for each RH we sent in :D. Pokemon are pretty good with stuff like that.
 
Yeah you should contact them but at one point half the people at a local tournament got french cards as prizes mixed with english ones
 
I really want to contact them, but I keep leaving the darn card at work. >_< Should I just send them a scan and explain what happened? I can't find the receipt anywhere.
 
I got a tin a while back (mewtwo lv.x) and one of the boosters was missing the rare, so there was no way to prove i was telling the truth. I just sent them an email and got a reply within days. They apologized and told me it happens... Never asked for a receipt, just an address. Couldn't guarantee a specific booster (rare was missing from a secret wonders), and told me they'd send a random one and a few pop packs. Few weeks later I got a great encounters and 2 pop packs in the mail :D. As long as you have some sort of proof/ believable story it should be good!

and i've gotten an even weirder pull in the past (imo). An extra card all bent and ugly, upside down and facing the wrong way in a booster.
 
Once I bought a blister pack of Diamond and Pearl. The cards were all stuck together, and when I tried to pull them apart, they ripped. I told the store, and they returned it, but for you you'll need to contact Pok'emon.
