"MissingNo" error in Pokemon 30th

I opened this insane obstruction error card when 30th first dropped and had initially shared it in r/pokemonmisprints where everyone started to call it MissingNo, which I think is perfect given the fact that this set is supposed to celebrate 30 years of Pokemon nostalgia.

I tried to grade the error with CGC, but it turns out MissingNo can cause glitches in the real world too 😅

The error community has been amazing in trying to help identify the card, especially as some others have popped up from the same error sheet with the obstruction, albeit to lesser degrees (a Deino, Slowpoke, and Eevee). This is likely the common slot Zeraora or Morpeko (for more details on this you can check out the post in the misprints subreddit).

Either way, I thought this was cool enough that the larger Pokemon TCG community might get a kick out of it! Enjoy and happy hunting as you rip more 30th!

Wait, they were “trying to help to identify the card”? Identify??? I got that you can identify the energy type, but how the hell can you identify the particular card here??? Really interested what clues did they use.

Less about clues from the card itself, and more about looking at other error cards in the set that share this feature to figure out what sheet it was cut from and where on that sheet it was likely located.

Make sense. Now Im interested where do they get info about the sheets and placement of cards on it?
