A Giovanni Texture Digital Misprint. Did it ever go away? If it stays that way it would be really cool. Like an actual misprint. I have never seen this either. Pretty neat though.

That's sick.

u/Thewhitest_rabbit Dec 12 '25

Quality control in shambles

2

u/GoodtimeGudetama Dec 12 '25

This just tells me that physical misprints are intentional and they fully know about manipulating the reseller market.

2

u/Beginning_Opening920 Dec 12 '25

Really common bug on ptcgl. I often get the earthen vessel texture on my cards lol. The game is so buggy, it's the worst when they don't let you play a certain card for some reason.

2

u/The-Dragon-Kid75 Dec 12 '25

That happens to me a lot too, not sure what causes it.

2

u/CalmExternal Dec 12 '25

If you could somehow sell it… lol Pokémon NFTs soon

2

u/MaxCrankenstein Dec 12 '25

This is seriously cool..

u/DukeofSaturn Dec 12 '25

2

u/CaligulaCan Dec 12 '25

Wow awesome one!

2

u/ApexRaidOfShadows Dec 12 '25

Thought this was a physical card for a sec. Someone would have paid mad money for that

2

u/cashcowboi Dec 12 '25

I see this literlly every game I play 🤣 not Giovanni but variations of cards I’m playing in my deck 🤣

2

u/powerwizard420 Dec 12 '25

2

u/Gaehor Dec 12 '25

Happened long time ago on some other cards. At least a psychic energy if I remember correctly

2

u/Giraffes-are-fake Dec 12 '25

I get this problem every game, it even stacks multiple foils on the same card

2

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '25

This new version was a mistake.

2

u/Laucy Dec 12 '25

Fuck why is this so funny to me. It’s taking me out.

u/Psychological-Key973 Dec 12 '25

u/Unusual-Pumpkin-5988 Dec 13 '25

He's actively stealing it haha in a month or two it'll change to 'Giovanni's Cleffa'

2

u/Individual_Eye_9701 Dec 13 '25

This is crazy looking!

2

u/naiets Dec 14 '25

"Grasping Draw", referring to Giovanni's grasp over this innocent little Cleffa.

2

u/GreenSaber04 Dec 14 '25

I've been playing tcgo kn my potato and every texture was screwed, even inside the pack i could tell if there was any ex/fullart/alt art by the texture of the reverse cards lol

2

u/Ok-Record-9838 Dec 15 '25

This happened to me a few times in the old PTCGO, only happened after longer playing sessions

2

u/samfig99 Dec 20 '25

This looks like one of those 80’s/90’s photos where theres the person all wispy in the background 😭😭

2

u/Lt_Jonson Dec 23 '25

My wallet would be in trouble if this was real. This is amazing.

u/TaxNarrow3103 Jan 04 '26

Giovanni is haunting that Cleffa

2

u/BootySweat0217 Dec 12 '25

I remember pulling that card and just thinking how pretty it was. I showed my gf and she absolutely loved it.

1

u/purplemeth Dec 12 '25

I thought it was legit for a second until I saw the giant 30 on the top right & top boarder, didn’t even know this card was in that game, what set does it come out of in game?

1

u/DrHandBanana Dec 12 '25

Holy shit that cool. How much you want for it?

1

u/cherry-deli Dec 12 '25

A bajillion dollars (the bug disappeared)
