==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Although Fascinate is referred to as Tempt on the promotional release of this card, it is still considered a reprint. The attacks have the exact same effect, and the Japanese versions of the cards referred to both attacks by the same name. The reason for the differing names on the English versions is unknown.
The Nintendo Power insert erroneously states that Dark Persian is a Basic Pokémon.
*A number of the Wizards Black Star Promo prints of this card were printed without HP. Most of these error cards were destroyed, but some of them saw release.
