There are already five different sets of Pokémon Sword and Shield trading cards, with a sixth expansion arriving early next year.
With the sheer volume of cards The Pokémon Company is pumping out, it's no surprise there is a printing error from time to time. With this in mind, an error on a Cinderace card (part of the base Sword & Shield set, 36/202) will be changed.
The Retreat Cost printed on the original card was one energy, but should actually be two energy cards. This will be effective immediately in competitive play and will also be reflected in the Pokémon TCG Errata document. Here's the change:

Whoops, nerfed.
You've been Bayonetta'd sucka!
Ah yes, I’m sure that was totally affecting the horrific balancing in the TCG, it was this one typo.
Eh with the number of cards the game has produced over the years, a mistake here and there is inevitable.
I have two from the theme deck but I’ll have to check when I get home.
well it's nice to have an error card for memories of the year it was a mistake.
My boi just got the smash 4 greninja treatment
There have been so many misprints over the years. I fail to see how this is newsworthy.
I came for innuendo, dammit!
Well now I can enjoy my Christmas.
You know, if either image were flipped, it'd look like Knuckles bashed Cinderace in his Cinder-face.
The new cards are so overpowered that it makes the game unbalanced and pointless.
Slow news day?
@RodSD64 A few are legitimately overpowered, but the V and V Max cards are generally decently balanced by being worth 2 and 3 prizes respectively and not being compatible with certain cards like Twin Energy.
Anyone with one of these cards should hold onto it. Cards with mistakes tend to become quite collectable later on.
Now....how much can i sell this misprint for......
Don't see anything saying they're going to reprint the set. It'll be changed, but the usual method for these changes is just to release errata. If it's from the first Sword & Shield set, I doubt they'd bother reprinting a set that's now a year old, either.
So all of the cards would show the 1 energy retreat cost.
How much you wanna bet that misprint version will spike in value for collectors in the future.
Hmm... I wonder by how much?
I just started to get back into the cards recently but I did in fact get one of those. The other cinderace card also has a retreat cost of one, so I'm not sure if that one will be changed too.
Price gougers, ho!
Ok so I looked, I got one...
Now what, re-release eBay?
