'''Pokémon LV.''X''''' are a special kind of [[Pokémon]] found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They first appeared in the ''{{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}'' expansion and made their final in-set appearance in the ''{{TCG|Platinum: Arceus}}'' expansion. Essentially replacing {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}}, Pokémon LV.''X'' have similar attributes in appearance to their predecessors, with a similar holographic border and similar levels of strength, as well as the same level of rarity. They also lack the major drawback of Pokémon-ex as a player will not receive two Prize cards for Knocking Out a Pokémon LV.''X''. They do, however, differ greatly in terms of gameplay. | '''Pokémon LV.''X''''' are a special kind of [[Pokémon]] found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

Firstly, Pokémon LV.''X'' are treated as "Pokémon Level-Up" cards as opposed to Basic Pokémon or Evolution cards. The same rules apply as with evolution, however: a Pokémon cannot be Leveled-Up in the same turn as it is played or evolved and a Pokémon that is Leveled-Up will lose all {{TCG|Special Conditions}} affecting it (though only the Active Pokémon, not the player's Benched Pokémon, can be Leveled-Up). However, a Pokémon LV.''X'''s key trait is that it will still be able to use all Pokémon Powers and attacks usable by the Basic Pokémon or highest Stage Evolution card under it. | Firstly, Pokémon LV.''X'' are treated as "Pokémon Level-Up" cards as opposed to Basic Pokémon or Evolution cards.
