:::Would you be willing to take a picture of it for me to see? If what I'm thinking is true, you have a manufacturing error, which isn't quite a genuine error card. Manufacturing errors are simply the cards getting messed up in the printing presses somehow. In general, these types of errors happen constantly, but the different possibilities are pretty interesting. An overlay like the one I think you have is more uncommon and interesting, but not entirely an error that is replicated on a vast number of cards.

::::Correction, I took a look at it again, and it's actually not overlapped with Umbreon's information, but it is overlapped with something. It looks like 198 is mixed with 197 and the 'a' and 'n' in Murkrow's species name is mixed with 'b' and 'o.' I'll work on getting a picture taken and I'll put up the link to it when I have it.

== Magneton ==
Ok, I don't have the card now, but I did have a [[Magneton (Stormfront 42)|Stormfront 42 Magneton card]] a few years ago that had a pretty hilarious error on it. The Pokédex description read (I am sad that I lack the talent to make this shit up):
''"It is actually three MAGNEMITE linke by magnetism. A group can set offa mafnetic storm."''
Just throwing this out there. [[User:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''Aidan the'''</span>]] [[User talk:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''Aura Master'''</span>]] 15:50, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

== Error on Bastiodon? ==
I found a Bastiodon Pokemon Card a few days ago in a restaurant, and I didn't check it until just now. I then noticed that the "Stage 1 Evolves from Shieldon" thing incorrectly showed a Picture of Klink instead of Shieldon. I do not know which deck this is from, All I know is that I believe the copy was made in 2016.  [[User:DownWithMorayTowers|DownWithMorayTowers]] ([[User talk:DownWithMorayTowers|talk]]) 22:53, 10 December 2016 (UTC)DownWithMorayTowers
== Suggested move ==
"Error cards" is a bit awkward grammatically (since "error" is not an adjective) and doesn't make its meaning entirely clear — does it mean cards with errors? cards that were never meant to be made? cards that are glitched in the TCG video games? It's not clear which of these is intended until you read the text of the article. Since "Error cards" does not appear to be an official term, I'm proposing a move to the title "Cards with errors", which makes more grammatical sense and, I believe, is a bit clearer in meaning as well.

:Error cards is how the fandom has always and will always refer to them. It is also how Wizards refer to this class of cards, and as they were an official compqny for cards, it is the currently most official term we have.

::Then should we mention that this was once used as an official term? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:47, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
:::Personally, I think it's summed up quite well in the first sentence of the page "Error cards are cards in the TCG that have certain elements on the card that are incorrect." Simple. Concise. I think it's fine. [[User:Laurenblackfox|Laurenblackfox]] ([[User talk:Laurenblackfox|talk]]) 19:55, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
