'''Pokémon LV.''X''''' are a special kind of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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|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 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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.

As well as that, cards that require the player to search their deck will only allow them to choose a Pokémon LV.''X'' if the card states "Pokémon," "Basic Pokémon or Evolution card" (this applies only to Trainer cards from the EX Series) or "Pokémon LV.''X''" - cards stating only "Basic Pokémon" or "Evolution cards" (such as {{TCG|Great Ball}} and {{TCG|Professor Elm's Training Method}} respectively) will not allow the player to search for a Pokémon LV.''X''. | As well as that, cards that require the player to search their deck will only allow them to choose a Pokémon LV.''X'' if the card states "Pokémon," "Basic Pokémon or Evolution card" (this applies only to Trainer cards from the EX Series) or "Pokémon LV.''X''" - cards stating only "Basic Pokémon" or "Evolution cards" (such as {{TCG|Great Ball}} and {{TCG|Professor Elm's Training Method}} respectively) will not allow the player to search for a Pokémon LV.''X''. | ||
