Metapod is ripped open, revealing an evolved Butterfree, which uses its sleep powder on not only the Beedrill, but Team Rocket too!
	EP5	Showdown in Pewter City
	Ash meets a strange old man named Flint, who instructs him in the etiquette of Pokémon training and the rules of the Pokémon League.

Carta Lista di controllo

La lista di controllo statunitense elenca tutte le carte della serie tranne le carte note come "Cards Chase", "Cards Animation Stick-on" e "Cards Clear". Inoltre a differenza della "prima serie", la lista di controllo elenca se stessa nella lista.

Collezione europea

Le carte della serie europea si dividono in quattro categorie di contenuto, ognuna numerata in modo separato. Le carte dedicate ai Pokémon sono numerate in modo classico da 77 a 151, seguendo la numerazione della "prima serie"; le carte dedicate agli episodi sono numerate OR con il numero a seguire da 1 a 19; le carte dedicate ai personaggi, note come "Carte Eroi & Cattivi", sono numerate HV con il numero a seguire da 1 a 5 e la carta adibita a lista di controllo, invece, è l'unica carta della serie a non possedere un numero.

Le carte europee della serie hanno subito modifiche sostanziali, tanto da escludere alcune carte della serie statunitense: sono state rimosse le carte episodio della serie Indigo League e sono state sostituite con le carte episodio della serie Adventures in the Orange Islands (da EP084 al EP102) appartenenti alla "terza serie"; sono state rimosse alcune carte "Eroi & Cattivi" e sono state sostituite con alcune appartenenti alla "terza serie". Invece, le carte note come "Cards Chase", "Cards Animation Stick-on" e "Cards Clear", sono state rimosse e sostituite con le carte Pokémon (da Goldeen 118 a Mew 151) della "terza serie".
