Pokémon Lv. X are a special kind of Pokémon found in the TCG. They first appeared in the Diamond & Pearl Expansion.

Essentially replacing Pokémon ex and Pokémon Star, Pokémon Lv. X have similar attributes in appearance to their predecessors, with a holographic border like that of Pokémon ex and character art that protrudes from the window, like that of Pokémon Star. They do however, differ greatly in terms of gameplay:

  • They are treated as a special type of Evolution card, in that it can’t be place on top of a Pokémon that evolved on the same turn; but it is not considered an actual Evolution card, ruling out certain card effects (such as Professor Elm’s Training Method).
  • When a Pokémon Lv. X is played, it keeps all cards attached to the card below and any damage counters. Special Conditions are also removed, similar to any regular Evolution. Unlike Evolutions however, Pokémon Lv. X also keep all attacks, Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies from the earlier level.
  • They share the same name as the Pokémon it is put on top of (e.g. only 4 Torterra are permitted per deck – one could have 2 Torterra and 2 Torterra Lv. X, but not 4 of each). Similarly, if a card effect removes the highest Stage Evolution card from a Pokémon Lv. X, both the earlier level Pokémon and Pokémon Lv. X are removed.

In essence, they draw the best attributes from their predecessors (such as high HP's and strong attacks), without their major drawbacks (like the 2-Prize Card rule for Pokémon ex and 1-per Deck rule for Pokémon Star), making them very playable.
