Three entries in thePokémon Trading Card Gamehave received one of the rarest treatments in the game. An errata is issued for a Pokémon card whenever the text on the card needs to be corrected, whether this is to fix a typo, clarify something, or change the way an attack or ability works. There have only been a few official erratas issued for cards, and most tend to affect trainer cards, not specific Pokémon cards.
A new errata has been added to the list, which will be applied to two cards effective immediately, according toPokébeach. The cards in question arethe celestial Fighting-type Minior and the tag-team dual-Pokémon card Venusaur and Snivy-GX.Pokébeach userGrillmeisternoted that the often-overlooked Minior now has a firmer place inPokémon TCGhistory, even if it is for something unrelated to the card: “The most forgotten pokemon in the tcg gets remembered for one of the rarest things?”
How The New Pokémon Errata Changes The Two Cards' Abilities
The Change Makes The Two Cards Slightly More Powerful
The newly added errata changed the text of the abilities “Far-Flying Meteor” and “Shining Vine,” altering the way the abilities activate. Originally, both abilities allowed the player to switch either their own (for Minior) or the opponent’s (for Snivy and Venusaur) active cards once per turn. According to the updated text, this can now be done “whenever” an Energy card is attached, meaning that the ability can be activated multiple times per turn.

The second part of the Wonder Pick event is now live in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, with more Meowth-themed goodies to unlock.
The update comes a little late for the Venusaur & Snivy GX, which has been out for five years. Minior, however, has only been available for a year, so the update was most likely added due to the card gaining popularity among competitiveTCGplayers. Minior’s attack does damage based on the opponent’s retreat cost, sothis change makes the card potentially useful in certain situations,especially when dealing with opponents that limit the ability to retreat, like the dreaded Snorlax stall build.
Minior Is One Of The Most Underrated Pokémon In The Series
The Pokémon Is Beloved By Some But Forgotten By Many
Snivy and Venusaur are two well-known and beloved Pokémon, but Minior is far less popular. The Rock and Flying-type Pokémon is from the Gen 7Sun and Moongames and isn’t as widely known. This is really a shame becauseits design is unique and theTCGcard has some beautiful artworkby artist 0313.
At its base form, Minior looks like a bland meteor rock, but when its core is exposed it shines like a bright smiling star. There are seven types of Miniors, one for each color of the rainbow, and it’s a happy and colorful design that should be more well-known. The change to the way Minior’sPokémon Trading Card Gamecard works may help make the Pokémon more popular since it makes the card a bit more useful.
