Sorry, I didn't see that the images and all were already posted in the other thread. Put these up as soon as I got home.
 
The krookodile is unknown, japan has yet to see it either. This might make krokodile a viable deck, given that the one we got in BW was so close to being broken, so this might put it over the top.

Whoa. What's with the Krookodile with the ability? Is there a promo of one in Japan? :O

Nope, Scolipede and Krookodile are totally new cards for the English set, probably because there were leftover cards of their pre-evolutions that didn't make our first BW set.

Based on the "over 25 Unova Pokemon" line, it's almost certain that nothing from Red Collection or the Victini decks will be in Emerging Powers, as was being discussed in the other thread.

Most likely cards are:
-7 remaining Beginning Set cards (Sandile and Krokorok for sure, Pansage, Panpour, Pansear, Audino, Minccino)
-21 remaining Black Collection cards (Sewaddle, Swadloon, Leavanny, Cottonee, Whimsicott, Basculin, Cubchoo, Beartic, Emolga, Gothita, Gothorita, Gothitelle, Roggenrola, Boldore, Drilbur, Excadrill, Tornadus, Crush Hammer, Max Potion, Recycle, Tornadus FA)
-13 remaining White Collection cards (Thundurus, Venipede, Whirlipede, Sigilyph, Ferroseed, Ferrothorn, Audino, Rufflet, Braviary, Great Ball, Pokemon Catcher, Cheren, Thundurus FA)
-25 Battle Strength Deck cards (Sewaddle, Swadloon, Cottonee, Darumaka, Darmanitan, Basculin, Cubchoo, Virizion, Joltik, Galvantula, Sigilyph, Gothita, Roggenrola, Boldore, Drilbur, Terrakion, Zorua, Zoroark, Ferroseed, Klink, Klang, Lillipup, Rufflet, Cobalion, Bianca)
-Japanese promos (possibly Gigalith, the new Simisear/Simisage/Simipour promos if their pre-evos are included, etc)
-A few cards that are currently English-exclusive (Scolipede/Krookodile so far)
 
These are the Japanese promos that we haven't received in English and therefore could be included in Emerging Powers:

1-20: Pansage 1, Pidove 2, Ducklett 8, Litwick 9, Gigalith 10, Patrat 11
21-40: Zorua 21, Minccino 22, Pokedex 23, Zoroark 24, Emolga 25, Druddigon 26, Cobalion 37, Terrakion 38, Virizion 39
41-60: Throh 40, Sawk 41, Landorus 47, Darumaka 48, Scraggy 49, Axew 50, Simisage 57, Simisear 58, Simipour 59
Unknown numbers: Reshiram, Zekrom, Klinklang, Golurk, Beartic, Zebstrika, Gothitelle, Reuniclus

I would not be surprised if Gigalith, Zorua, Zoroark, Minccino, Emolga, Darumaka, Simisage, Simisear and Simipour are in, since there's a good chance that they'll have other cards or cards of their pre-evolutions in the set too. I'd say the same for Klinklang, Beartic and Gothitelle except that their promos aren't even out in Japan yet... guessing that Litwick is going to be held back for our third set, unfortunately. :(

I'd also speculate that the 37-39 will be the tin promos for EP since they're just alternate artwork of the Musketeer Trio.
