On Rapidash (first edition) card says "Put on Stage 1 Pokemon" instead of basic Pokemon.

A few Holo-foil cards of each Pokemon type are missing Jungle symbols. Estimated at 10,000 printed.
Fossil
On Zapdos (15/62 holo-foil) foil stamped like evolution card. Foil missing in upper left corner.
Team Rocket
On Dark Arbok ( 2/82 holo and 19/82 non-holo, first edition and unlimited), the copyright line
says "©1999-23000 Wizards." It should say "©1999-2000 Wizards." Corrected in
future printings.
On Dark Rapidash (44/82, first edition and unlimited), the word "Length" is missing from the
measurements. Corrected in future printings. View Here.
On Dark Vileplume (30/82, non-holo only, first edition and unlimited versions), Fighting is listed
as the Weakness; however, the correct Weakness should be Fire (as it is on Dark Vileplume
13/82 holo and on the Japanese version). Will not be corrected in future printings. Wizard of the Coast's
states that they do not change card readings that would change game play, unless the card is
unplayable as it stands. This card should be played as it is written except when explicitly
stipulated otherwise for international tournament play.
On Grimer (57/82, first edition and unlimited), in the attack Poison Gas, the effect was originally
Poison in the Japanese version, not Asleep. Will not be corrected in future printings. Wizard of the Coast's policy
states that they do not change card readings that would change game play, unless the card is
unplayable as it stands. This card should be played as it is written except when explicitly
stipulated otherwise for international tournament play. View Here.
On Dark Dragonite, the holo card (5/82) was also printed as a non-holo card. This did not
occur in the first edition and is already corrected for current printings.
On Dark Raichu (83/82 holo, first edition and non - first edition), the reminder text says "Put
Raichu on the Basic Pokémon" but should read "Put Dark Raichu on the Basic Pokémon."
