Best telephoto lens for the olympus pen e pl8?

For telephoto on the PEN E-PL8, I'd start with the Olympus M.Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO. It's the fastest reach in the catalogue, covering about 300-800mm equivalent on full frame, and it's the one to pick if you shoot wildlife in low light.

If you want more reach for less, the OM System M.Zuiko 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS goes out to 300-1200mm equivalent. For a smaller option, the OM System M.Zuiko 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS II (200-800mm equivalent) is a sensible middle ground, and the Panasonic Lumix G 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II (200-600mm equivalent) is the lightest of the bunch.

For more on choosing a telephoto for birds and sport, see wildlife and sport, and use the focal length converter for any other equivalents.
