Trivia

This card later received an erratum to change the Ghost Head attack to require that Banette cannot be Knocked Out, rather than simply prevent more damage counters than Banette's remaining HP to be placed (allowing Ghost Head to place damage counters to precisely Knock Out Banette prior to the erratum).
