Today, the official Pokemon TCG Pocket Twitter account released a statement: "It has come to our attention that there was a production issue regarding the illustration of Ho-Oh featured in the immersive card artwork for Ho-Oh EX (3-Star) and Lugia EX (3-Star)." It identifies the issue: "The card production team provided incorrect reference materials as official documents to the illustrator commissioned to create these cards."
