Card text

Poké-POWER

	Supreme Command しじょうめいれい
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may choose up to 2 cards from your opponent's hand without looking and put them face down next to the Defending Pokémon. (These cards are not in play or in your opponent's hand.) At the end of your opponent's next turn, return those cards to your opponent's hand. This power can't be used if Empoleon is affected by a Special Condition.

Attack

	Hydro Impact ハイドロインパクト
Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 80 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Empoleon can't attack during your next turn.

Level-Up Rule

Put this card onto your Active Empoleon. Empoleon LV. X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous Level.

Release information

This card was released as one of the DP Black Star Promos, with different artwork by the same artist. It was released in September 2007 as one of the cards available in the Diamond & Pearl Collector Tins.

Trivia

Early print runs have a Poké-BODY symbol instead of a Poké-POWER symbol. This error was corrected in later print runs.

Origin

Hydro Impact functions very similar to Hydro Cannon, a move in the Pokémon games that Empoleon can learn via move tutor.
