Funny / Pokémon Trading Card Game

  • A good few cards in the TCG have errors that can either be small or just really funny and amusing to see.
  • The first part of the Unbroken Bonds TCG expansion trailer has Lucario and Melmetal facing off against Marshadow and Machamp. Machamp stomps on the ground, causing the cliff below it to crack. Cue Marshadow sinking into its shadow and the cliff falling down with Machamp following after. Lucario facepalms, unamused, while Melmetal is "happy" that they "won".
  • The trailer for the Cosmic Eclipse TCG expansion. A Togepi, a Cleffa, and an Igglybuff are hanging out, when suddenly Dialga, Palkia, and Arceus show up. The babies' reaction to this is to put up their dukes, put on an angry face, and get ready to fight. Then the Legendaries just keep walking without acknowledging their presence.
  • The official Pokemon TCG twitter account posted a photo of two Spheal playing the game in Pokemon World Championships 2022, which looks absolutely adorable. But because their decks were later found to be illegalNote , the Spheal were disqualified and the official Pokemon Play Twitter account had them escorted out of the tournament. The two Spheal were later caught in the commentator's booth for the TCG tournament in Paper-Thin Disguise, and were promptly exposed on Twitter.
  • The special illustration art for Iron Hands ex. It shows the Pokémon barreling through a wall in an abandoned field... with the background showing a bunch of other walls with identical Iron Hands-shaped holes in them, implying it's been at this for a long time.
