Reverse pokeball error mystery

Does this count as an error card. I found a unseen forces reverse holo houndoom but only one pokeball is upside down😂

Would add pics but idk how

The top has normal pokeballs as well just the one by his mouth is upside down

Maybe there’s a pokeball on the same spot on both halves pn the foil idk

I assume you are referring to the upside down Poke Ball foil? Though I’m not sure what you mean by “only one” Poke Ball being upside down, it might be helpful to add a picture if you’re able to figure out how.

The entire foil being upside down is a known error printing in Unseen Forces, and in my humble opinion it’s very cool! This error is not super uncommon to see either, and it can be found in all languages.

My Spanish Unseen Forces Slowbro happens to have upside down Poke Balls :slight_smile:

I think

@Alec WTB INVERTED UNSEEN FORCES REVERSE HOLOS

The one by it’s mouth looks like the red is on top, just like the rest of them. Can you share different angles?

They all look correct to me, which one is “upside down”?

it looks right side up to me? just darker since it’s at the edge of the color band?

They’re hard to get a good angle on without handling them/a good light source. The red background in the artwork makes it even harder
 It especially doesn’t help that it’s on a shim line, haha. I think it is red-half up.

With that said, since the halves of the ball do land on a shim line, I’d imagine that that specific ball would be either red or white on both halves before it was the only ball in the entire art box that was upside down. If that makes sense, this pattern isn’t known to have one single ball upside down as either an “Easter egg” or repeating error, type of deal. It’d be interesting to find one with both a “red-up” and “white-up” sheet on the same card though, as I’m sure in theory it could very well produce the effect of a single upside down ball since the PokĂ©mon usually fills most of the artbox
 but I doubt it would be the actual colouring of either half creating that impression, versus just the viewing angle and lighting like you’ve pictured above.

Oh, no stress, if you ask me - they did it for one set only since even the factory had a hard time figuring out which way was up. You really have to manipulate each card to figure it out. I recently found 2 more upside down patterns while going through my singles again after buying a collection, haha.
