Pokémon Trading Cards series 2

Pokémon Trading Cards series 2 was a set of Pokémon cards manufactured by Topps in 2000. There were 72 cards in total: 41 Pokémon cards, 5 "Heroes & Villains" cards, 25 episode cards, and a checklist card. Each of these 72 cards also had two foil card versions (silver and rainbow). In addition, there were 27 bonus "chase cards" not included on the checklist, including 12 die-cut embossed cards, 10 animation sticker/stick-on cards, and 5 clear cards.
Cards were sold in randomly distributed packets of five or eightPokémon TV Series 2 (Jeff Allender's House of Checklist). One card in each packet would be a randomly chosen foil card. Packs containing rainbow foil cards were distinguished by an oval "Special Collector's Edition" stamp; the boxes the packs came in also featured the same stamp.
A French, Italian, and Spanish series 2 set also included cards from both this set and the series 3 set. This set is characterized by a round Nintendo seal, as opposed to the oval Nintendo seal. Cards used from the series 2 set include all Pokémon (#77-117) and Heroes & Villains cards (HV1-5); cards used from series 3 include all Pokémon (#118-151) and episode cards (OR1-19). The set contained no chase cards.
Topps' 75th Anniversary card set from 2013 featured stamped buyback cards, confirmed to include some cards from Series 1, Series 2, Series 3 & Pokémon First Movie. These are cards that Topps bought from the secondhand market via the buyback program and stamped with a gold "Topps 75th" logo. Some of the cards that were from Series 2 in the 75th Anniversary set include: #94 Gengar

===Sticker / stick-on cards===
Ten "animation stick-on" cards were included in the set. Each card appears as a normal card, but the picture of the Pokémon can be peeled off and is actually a sticker (with a clear background). On the back of each card is one of nine pieces to a puzzle, except for the card, which shows a small version of the completed puzzle picture.
===Clear cards===
There were five "clear cards" included in this set. The clear cards feature a double-sided picture of a Pokémon on the front and back, the back image is the image on the front but in reverse. The rest of the card is transparent.

==Trivia==
===Errors===
* In general, the cards do not capitalize some words that are normally capitalized in the games and other media, such as Trainer and Gym Leader. A few generic typos also occur.
* Jessie's name is misspelled "Jesse" everywhere it occurs. This happens in #94 Gengar, HV2, HV4, HV5, and EP19.
* #82 Magneton pluralizes by adding an "s".
* #98 Krabby calls "Dr. Oak". Also its first apperance is incorrectly listed as "Island of the Giant Pokémon", while its animated series debut is "Mystery at the Lighthouse" when caught one.
* #100 Voltorb misspells the title of episode 32, writing "Poke" instead of "Poké".
* EP16 misspells as Magicarp.
