When a card is reprinted, older versions of a card can still be used in [[Rotation (TCG)|modified]] tournaments provided the text of the card has not changed. If the text of a card has changed at all, an official Card-Pokédex entry or a copy of the card with the most recent wording must be supplied by the player using the card. | ||

Throughout the course of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]], some trainer cards have received functional errata due to being reprinted. This happens when a card is reprinted with the same name, but a different effect. Unfortunately, due to the [[Rotation (TCG)|Unlimited]] format not being supported by [[Pokémon Organized Play]], and the lack of information as to how many of these cards should be treated or used in the [[Rotation (TCG)|Unlimited]] format, it is unclear if they are true reprints, or different cards entirely. Notable cards that have received functional errata through reprints include: | |||
*{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Rare Candy|88}} | |||
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Potion|94}} | |||
*{{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}} | |||
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|PlusPower|84}} | |||
*{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Pokémon Catcher|95}} | |||
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}} | |||
{{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}} is especially notable, as it has received 3 different printings, each with a different effect. Although {{TCG ID|Base Set|PlusPower|84}} has had 4 different wordings throughout the history of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]], only one of them actually changed the functionality of the card, changing ''(after applying Weakness and Resistance)'' to ''(before applying Weakness and Resistance)''. Although {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}} did not receive a change of its text, it was changed to a {{TCG|Supporter card}}, thus altering its in-game effect. | |||
