Four sets in a year
- Great Encounters (February 13, 2008), home of the Dialga LV.X (#105) that ranks among the most valuable 2008 cards here.
- Majestic Dawn (May 21, 2008), whose Glaceon (#5) sits near the top of our 2008 values.
- Legends Awakened (August 20, 2008), with Rayquaza (#14), Mewtwo LV.X (#144) and Dragonite (#2).
- Stormfront (November 5, 2008), which hid its best cards past the end of its own checklist.
Stormfront's hidden cards
Stormfront was advertised as a 100-card set, but its checklist runs past that number. Three secret rares follow card 100 — Charmander (101/100), Charmeleon (102/100) and Charizard (103/100) — and three Shiny Pokémon are numbered SH1 to SH3. The Shinies marked their return to the game, and they continued into the Platinum sets that followed.
The number decides everything here: a Charmeleon numbered 102/100 is the secret rare, while any Charmeleon numbered 100 or below is a different, ordinary printing.
LV.X at its height
Every 2008 set carried Pokémon LV.X, cards placed on top of the Active Pokémon of the same name to level it up. They are easy to spot by the "LV.X" next to the name, and they make up much of the high end of this guide.
What people scan
In the app, Legends Awakened's Deoxys (#1) is scanned more than any other 2008 card, ahead of a Japanese Weedle and Great Encounters' Rotom. Japanese sets from the year, such as Bonds to the End of Time, are listed separately from their English counterparts.
LV.X began in 2007 with the Diamond & Pearl set; the Platinum sets of 2009 added Pokémon SP on top of it.
