There is speculation that this new card and new Pokémon may be an elaborate hoax, with popular TCG site PokéBeach declaring them to be fake, but no one has been able to produce any evidence either way, as of yet. BulbaNews will continue to monitor this story as it develops, and provide an update as soon as new information becomes available.
PokéBeach webmaster Water Pokémon Master has revealed larger versions of the image shown left where these flaws are visible:
* The copyright statement on the cards are dated 2004, not 2006
* Jagged edges due to photo-manipulation
The creator of the forgeries has yet to step forward.
