Rulings

The use of the common term "Basic Pokémon or Evolution cards" in the Darkness Chant attack led to confusion about its effect, which implies a player is to count only one type or the other, rather than both. Errata was issued to change "or" to "and", giving it the intended effect. In Diamond & Pearl, all instances of the term "Basic Pokémon or Evolution cards" printed on existing cards were ruled to be played as "Pokémon cards", reflecting this card's intended effect.
