ERRATA
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== CURE (Unown - HS:Triumphant)

* Unknown's "CURE" Poke-POWER should read, "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 Poke-POWER is optional. (Apr 11, 2011 TPCi Announcements; May 5, 2011 PUI Rules Team)


== DEFENDER (various sets)

* The wording of Defender is now as follows, "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 now protects against all attacks, even ones not made by the opponent. (Apr 11, 2011 TPCi Announcements; May 5, 2011 PUI Rules Team)


== GREAT BALL (various sets)

* The wording of Great Ball is now as follows, "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." This card works very differently now; it can no longer search the entire deck for a Pokémon and put it directly onto Bench. (Apr 11, 2011 TPCi Announcements; May 5, 2011 PUI Rules Team)


== PLUSPOWER (various sets)

* The wording of PlusPower is now as follows, "During this turn, your Pokémon's attacks do 10 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance)." This card no longer attaches to a Pokémon when used. (Apr 11, 2011 TPCi Announcements; May 5, 2011 PUI Rules Team)


== POTION (various sets)

* The wording of Potion now heals 30 damage from 1 of your Pokémon instead of 20 damage. (Apr 11, 2011 TPCi Announcements; May 5, 2011 PUI Rules Team)


== RARE CANDY (various sets)

* The wording of Rare Candy is now as follows, "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." So now it can't be used on your first turn, and it can't be used on a Pokémon played this turn. (Apr 11, 2011 TPCi Announcements; May 5, 2011 PUI Rules Team)

== BUCK'S TRAINING (DP:Legends Awakened)

Q. If I use Gardevoir's "Telepass" to copy an opponent's "Buck's Training", would I get the added +10 attack bonus or not, since "Buck's Training" is not actually next to my Active Pokemon?
A. Yes, it will still work. The intent is that the effect works during the turn when the Supporter was played. So even though Buck's Training is in the opponent's Discard Pile, each of your Active Pokemon's attacks does 10 more damage to the Active Pokemon. (Aug 28, 2008 PUI Rules Team; May 5, 2011 PUI Rules Team)

***** PREVIOUS RULING: THIS ONE HAS BEEN OVERRULED; See Above *****
Q. If I use Gardevoir's "Telepass" to copy an opponent's "Buck's Training", would I get the added +10 attack bonus or not, since "Buck's Training" is not actually next to my Active Pokemon?
A. Good point! In this case since the opponent's Buck's Training is in the discard pile you would get to draw 2 cards but you would NOT get the added +10 attack bonus. (Aug 28, 2008 PUI Rules Team)


== DEFENDER (various sets)

* The wording of PlusPower is now as follows, "Attach Defender to 1 of your Pokémon. Discard this card at the end of your opponent’s next turn.
