Grumpig LV.36 – Psychic – HP90
Stage 1 – Evolves from Spoink

[.] Mysterious Step: The Defending Pokemon is now Confused. If it takes damage from this confusion, place 6 damage counters instead of 2.
[P][C] Crush: Does 20 damage times the number of Energy attached to Grumpig.

Weakness: Psychic (+20)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 2

Shouldn't Spoinks Mystererious Step attack say place 6 counters instead of "3"?
 
In other words, if you get confused you flip for it before your attack. If you get a tails, it means you get 6 damge counters instead of the normal 3. Why they said 2 ,I have no idea.
 
You normally place 3 on them though. Thats the problem. Its a good question. We'll have to see it when it comes out to understand what is going on exactly.

Edit: I don't see any number on the card besides 6 so this is probly just a translators addition without knowing the rule change.
 
Ok, I was wondering if maybe the new set rules would return Confusion damage back to 2, but I guess that may not the case.
 
I don't think so they will. Anyways, I correct myself. The translators made a mistake. Like they did so many times before.
 
It may just be a harmless typo. Even the most thoroughly-checked texts aren't free from typos.
