Errata Announced for ‘Brilliant Stars’ Garchomp Due to Text Error
Pokemon.com has announced an errata for Garchomp from Brilliant Stars due to an error in the card text.
The card contains an error in its Sonic Slip Ability that allows Garchomp to avoid being hurt by all attacks:
When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may prevent all damage from and effects of attacks done to this Pokémon until the end of your opponent’s next turn.
However, the card should only allow Garchomp to evade your opponent‘s attacks. This is the corrected text from Pokemon:
When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may prevent all damage from and effects of attacks from your opponent’s Pokémon done to this Pokémon until the end of your opponent’s next turn.
Like all erratas, players are supposed to treat the card as if it were printed with the correct text.
The card should be fixed in later print runs of Brilliant Stars.
