Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Standard and Expanded Format Legal Card List Discussion

Potion was errata'd.
Errata'd cards do not need references

Pop,

I dont think Potion was an errata. It was reprinted with new text in black and white.This also goes for Plus power. Doesnt that mean all older cards now need the new one as a reference?

Rare candy wasnt printed with new text, thus making it an errata...

Is this an accurate statement?

Errata
The following cards now have new official text, some of which is very different from previous versions. When using the following cards, always use this text to determine their effects:
Rare Candy
Choose 1 of your Basic Pokémon in play. If you have a Stage 2 card in your hand that evolves from that Pokémon, put that card on the Basic Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) You can’t use this card during your first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was put into play this turn.
Changes: You can no longer use this card to evolve a Basic to a Stage 1 Pokémon, it can’t be used on your first turn, and it can’t be used on a Pokémon played this turn.
Potion
Heal 30 damage from 1 of your Pokémon.
Changes: Heals 30 damage instead of 20 damage.
Great Ball
Look at the top 7 cards of your deck. You may reveal a Pokémon you find there and put it into your hand. Shuffle the other cards back into your deck.
Changes: This card works very differently now, it can no longer search the entire deck for a Pokémon and put it directly onto Bench.
PlusPower
During this turn, your Pokémon’s attacks do 10 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).
Changes: This card no longer attaches to a Pokémon when used.
Defender (HS—Undaunted, 72/90)
Attach Defender to 1 of your Pokémon. Discard this card at the end of your opponent’s next turn. Any damage done to the Pokémon Defender is attached to by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Defender protects against all attacks, even ones not made by the opponent.
Unown (HS—Triumphant, 51/102)
Poké-Power CURE
Once during your turn, when you put Unown from your hand onto your Bench, you may remove all Special Conditions from your Active Pokémon.
Use of this Poké-Power is optional.

These are from the Rules Changes Document. Listed as Errata. I've been collecting extra new potions and trading them with kids during deck check (with permission) for their old potions.
 
So this list isn't cards that are acceptable in the new HGSS-on format or are they? Because Platinum and the diamond and Pearl sets that are listed as legal aren't HGSS-on right?

-Slightly confused noob
 
This has now been updated for the HGSS-on format.
Please let me know if I have made any errors or omissions.
Thanks
 
Thanks for the update! I always reference my players to this list.

Aquapolis Memory Berry is still on the list, it needs removed.

Also, base set Defender's text is in line with the errata, but there's no harm in leaving the bold text.
 
Can any one tell me what sets are legal for next playing season. I have been away from Pokemon for a few years and I am now trying to start back up.

As noted in the list, in the promo section, you need a reference for it. The text has changed.
