Recent Pokémon TCG Errata

New errata has been released to clarify certain Diamond & Pearl cards


As we advance into the competitive tournament season for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, it is important that we release errata to clarify the cards to match the designer intent in Japan.

These errata are in effect immediately and are reflected in the official Card-Dex entries for the expansions in which these cards appear.

The cards, with their errata, are listed below.

Tangrowth (Diamond & Pearl—Great Encounters, #10)
Power Whip
Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage for each Energy from basic Energy cards attached to Tangrowth to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Unown G (Diamond & Pearl—Great Encounters, #57)
Guard Poké-Power
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Unown G is on your Bench, you may discard all cards attached to Unown G and attach Unown G to 1 of your Pokémon as a Pokémon Tool card. As long as Unown G is attached to a Pokémon, prevent all effects of attacks, excluding damage, done to that Pokémon by your opponent's Pokémon.
