e-Reader data
The Expedition Base Set print includes a Dot Code strip for use with the e-Reader, and has the card ID B-55-#. The short strip contains a brief card summary. There is no long strip for this card.
It was reprinted in EX Ruby & Sapphire, first originating from the Japanese Torchic Constructed Starter Deck, with new artwork by Hiromichi Sugiyama, which is famous for seemingly mangling the intended effect (see above). The change caused quite a stir, as if the effect had been changed from being a "flip for Gust of Wind" to "flip for half a Warp Point". An errata was ultimately issued so that the card was treated more like the Expedition print with a slight tweak for 2-on-2 play. The reprinted versions that appeared in EX FireRed & LeafGreen and EX Unseen Forces featured the adjusted text.
Pokémon Reversal was later reclassified in Japan as an Item card during the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, though the English Trainer cards did not adopt this naming convention until after this card's latest print. HeartGold & SoulSilver featured new artwork by Wataru Kawahara, and the Japanese Battle Starter Decks featured yet another new illustration by Hideaki Hakozaki.
This card's HeartGold & SoulSilver print's effect matches that of Pokémon Catcher's errata. Pokémon Catcher is a card later released in the Emerging Powers expansion, and given errata at the start of the XY Series.
