* '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Vulpix|68}}''': "Blue Butt Vulpix".  A blue ink obstruction can be found on Vulpix's butt on both 1st edition and shadowless prints. The 1st edition is notably more rare.
* '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Water Energy|102}}''': "Water Energy Misalignment Error". A mass produced design error where the top banner was accidentally misaligned higher than intended, resulting in the energy symbol being too high and the banner missing the edge design at the top, left, and right side.
* '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Water Energy|102}}''': "Water Energy Misalignment Error". A mass produced design error where the top banner was accidentally misaligned higher than intended, resulting in the energy symbol being too high and the banner missing the edge design at the top, left, and right side.
* '''Back Stamps''': 1st edition commons and uncommons can be found with a 1st edition stamp inverted on the back of the card. The black ink evidently didn't fully dry before the sheets were stacked, leading to wet ink transfer. Some cards received additional black ink and some had their ink removed to be "white stamps."
* '''Base 2000 UK Yellow Shifts''': Commons from the 1999-2000 UK prints can be found with a severe yellow ink shift to the right and downward in varying amounts. Only about 10 have been found and none of them were first partner Pokémon, making a finding of one very rare.
* '''Crimps''': Some booster packs contained cards that were misaligned when the pack was sealed, causing the crimps used to seal the pack to also be present on the cards. The most common crimp found in packs distributed by Wizards of the Coast is Unlimited Machamp. The pack rares are hardest to find crimped, most likely due to being in the middle of the pack. "Vertical crimps" and "Longstem hanger crimps" are also very rare crimps to find, most times happening on the uncommon card. "Crimped and cut" cards were so misaligned in the pack wrapper that they were cut with the booster pack. These cards often were not cut all the way, leaving behind a cut mark and sometimes a double crimp from the second pack.
* '''Dark Gold Border''': Some Shadowless nonholo rares, uncommons, and commons have been found printed with extremely dark gold borders. A recent occurrence was from a shadowless 2-Player Starter Set deck. Unlimited Machamp holos are also known to rarely have this border error as well as 1st edition common cards.
* '''Gray Stamps''': 1st editions can be found as a gray stamp or low ink 1st edition stamp error. The 32 rares from the set are extremely hard to find compared to the nonholos. Unlimited Machamp cards can also be found with this error.
* '''Holo Shifts''': The unlimited holos can be found with an extreme foil shift in varying degrees all but Machamp. Holo shifts are the result of a misaligned white ink layer.  
* '''Holo Shifts''': The unlimited holos can be found with an extreme foil shift in varying degrees all but Machamp. Holo shifts are the result of a misaligned white ink layer.  
* '''Inverted Backs''':  All the unlimited holos, uncommons, and commons have been found having an upside down back and being majorly off-center. The error is actually an inverted front because the backs are standardly printed first.

A recent occurrence was from a shadowless 2-Player Starter Set deck. Unlimited Machamp holos are also known to rarely have this border error as well as 1st edition common cards.
* '''White Stamps''': Similar to the "Back Stamps," these 1st edition commons and uncommons can be found with the 1st edition stamps partially white on the front and on the back. Due to missing ink from wet ink transfer, these are most commonly found on the back, compared to rarely being found white on the front.
* '''Base 2000 UK Yellow Shifts''': Commons from the 1999-2000 UK prints can be found with a severe yellow ink shift to the right and downward in varying amounts. Only about 10 have been found and none of them were first partner Pokémon, making a finding of one very rare.  
* '''Yellow Saturated Holos''': Most of the unlimited holos have been found with extremely oversaturated yellow ink across the whole card.
* '''Yellow Stain Shadowless Holos''':  Most of the shadowless holos have been found with vertical yellow ink lines across the card. Some have a lot of lines while others only have one.
* '''Yellow Stain Shadowless Holos''':  Most of the shadowless holos have been found with vertical yellow ink lines across the card. Some have a lot of lines while others only have one.
* '''Yellow Saturated Holos''':  Most of the unlimited holos have been found with extremely oversaturated yellow ink across the whole card.
* '''Gray Stamps''': 1st editions can be found as a gray stamp or low ink 1st edition stamp error. The 32 rares from the set are extremely hard to find compared to the non-holos. Unlimited Machamp cards can also be found with this error.
* '''Back Stamps''': 1st edition commons and uncommons can be found with a 1st edition stamp inverted on the back of the card. The black ink evidently didn't fully dry before the sheets were stacked, leading to wet ink transfer. Some cards received additional black ink and some had their ink removed to be "white stamps."

A rarer variant only found on unlimited prints where the flames of the artwork are black like the shadowless artwork instead of blue like most of the unlimited prints. [[Wizards of the Coast]], the distributor of Pokémon cards at the time, changed the design at some point early during unlimited print, making the black flame Ninetales less common.

* '''{{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}''': "Ivy Pikachu 1st Edition". This Black Star promo #1 can only be found as 1st edition from the 1st ed. Jungle booster packs. For many years, this was assumed to have been an error card not meant to have been in the packs due to it being the only black star promo with a 1st edition stamp. However, the emergence of a prototype Jungle booster pack, together with evidence found in a Japanese magazine, suggests the card was an intentional secret rare chase card that was never advertised in America. The evidence was found in a Japanese publication "Pokémon Card Trainers Vol. 2" in an article showcasing the upcoming North American release of the Jungle set expansion. The prototype booster packs include text on the Poké Ball graphic reading "Capture the rare Pikachu card! Look on inside wrapper!". Most recently on June 7, 2021 Twitch user murkd_ was opening 1st edition Jungle booster packs on stream and opened 3 packs each containing 3 1st Edition Ivy Pikachu cards (9 total), each filling the pack's usual uncommon card slots. According to PSA, the graded population is over 230.

* '''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Gengar|5}}''': A few holos have been found with a large yellow ink hickey on the back of the card at the top of the "MO" in POKÉMON. It closely resembles the shape of an arm flexing or a slanted yellow 7 with a yellow line around it. Notably, three identical copies have been found, with one being 1st edition and two being unlimited.

* '''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Haunter|6}}''': "Blue Stain Haunter". A large number of unlimited holos were printed with a large blue ink stain at the bottom right corner of the artwork near Haunter's hand. The most severe examples have the blue ink bleeding all the way to the right of the yellow frame into the purple area, while the least severe examples have small blue hickey circles or streaks in the holo.  With every sheet that was printed, the ink slowly diminished until all the additional ink was gone. This is one of the largest and most popular ink stains found on cards distributed by Wizards of the Coast.

* '''Blurry Art Rares''': Some unlimited nonholo rares have been found with color misregistration shifts errors to the left in respect to the black and border ink, causing the art to be blurry. There are two variations for this error with the first being the magenta and yellow ink are shifted left the same amount. The second variation also has cyan shifted left with the magenta and yellow.
* '''Cosmos Fossil Holos''': Some unlimited holos were printed with the incorrect cosmos foil pattern. English Fossil holos were printed with the starlight holofoil pattern, but some were printed with the cosmos foil pattern instead. It is unclear if this was done in error, as test prints, or if Wizards of the Coast intentionally switched to a different holofoil. These are highly sought after grails to collectors.

* '''Holo Bleed Water Spill Obstructions''': A handful of unlimited holos have been found with massive holobleeds from missing sections of white ink. These sections are typically horizontal swaths or ovals of missing white ink caused by water obstructions. The white plate's water roller would have spilled or dripped out too much water on the plate.
* '''Inverted Back Holos (Fronts)''': The unlimited holos have been found with upside down backs. The back and front of the sheet don't often align evenly, so when inverted, the back can be majorly off-center down and to the right. The backs are standardly printed first, so the error is someone feeding the front of the sheet into the printer upside down.
* '''No Star Holos''': Also known as "Mirror Holos," found on both 1st edition and unlimited holos, these cards are missing some, or in rarer cases, all the stars in the holofoil pattern. Fossil is the most common Wizards of the Coast set that this error has been found in.

* '''Orange HP Error Uncommons''': A handful of unlimited uncommons have been found with significantly low magenta ink across the whole card, making the HP bright orange and significantly affecting the coloration of some artworks. The magenta dots of ink on these cards are smaller than usual, making them appear sunfaded.
* '''Blurry Art Rares''': Some unlimited nonholo rares have been found with color misregistration shifts errors to the left in respect to the black and border ink, causing the art to be blurry. There are two variations for this error with the first being the magenta and yellow ink are shifted left the same amount. The second variation also has cyan shifted left with the magenta and yellow.
* '''White Line Border Holos''': Some 1st edition and unlimited holos have been found with a sharp white vertical line of missing ink on the left border. This is caused by the holofoil being glued abnormally far to the right, which causes the gold border's ink roller to miss the card while rolling over the edge of the foil.

A single nonholo Dark Dragonite was accidentally put on the uncommon sheet during the design stage for the 1st edition cards. Additionally, these copies use the card template for the holo #5 Dark Dragonite instead of the nonholo #22. This design error was never corrected, so it was mass produced in unlimited as well.
