Marill new ruling needed.

[ukpokemonpro]

Q. In the EX:Sandstorm set, there are 2 identical versions of Marill, but one has a retreat cost and one does not. Which one is the correct version and how shall the 2 different versions be played?

A. This appears to be a fairly common mistake in the set. Play the card as written; if you have the Marill with the free retreat you may play it as such. (Sep 11, 2003 PUI Rules Team Meeting)

This only applies to the US as the Marill printed in the UK/European English release has no misprint (yep they corrected it) and therefore we do not have access to the free retreat Marill .. to avoid an unfair advantage to US players in the future may I suggest that :

1) Marill is played as per it's correct version.

2) Marill with no retreat cost (the misprint) is banned from Tournament Play.
