There were also several variants of the cards released. [[Professor Program (TCG)|Pokémon Professors]] and {{TCG|Tournament Organizer}}s received versions of some cards, which have a gold foil "''Winner''" stamp in the bottom right corner of the illustration, called {{TCG|Winner Cards}}. The regular cards given to participants are often referred to as "non-Winner" versions. Exceptions to these include Professor Elm, Rocket's Mewtwo and Rocket's Hitmonchan, as the scheduled BattleZone tournaments were canceled after Wizards lost their license. Jumbo versions of all cards except Professor Elm cards were also released, which lack the reverse-holographic treatment. Professor Elm is also the only card not to have a version with the gold foil "''Winner''" stamp in the bottom right corner of the illustration.

In addition, all of these cards had an error. The energy symbols in place, by the attacks, are slightly misplaced and are put a little more to the left than usual. In an interview with Ike Lawliet in 2022, it was revealed the errors on these cards and cards on other sets released at the time were done intentionally due to Wizards of the Coast's at the time Vice President, Vince Calouri; finding out their license to print Pokémon TCG cards was not going to be renewed.
In addition, all of these cards had an error. The energy symbols indicating attack costs are slightly misplaced to the left. Former [[Wizards of the Coast]] employees claimed these errors, as well as errors on cards from other sets released at the time, were included intentionally to sabotage the brand after discovering their license to distribute the TCG internationally was not going to be renewed.<ref>* [https://www.matobadesign.com/jamboree Pokémon Jamboree ⁠— MATOBA DESIGN]</ref>
