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

Where it came from
Released in the 2007 Diamond & Pearl expansion, the Empoleon LV.X card introduced the Level-Up mechanic to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This phase of the game marked a significant shift in play style, allowing players to place a LV.X card onto an active Pokémon of the same name to gain increased HP and unique Poké-Powers, such as Empoleon's 'Supreme Command,' which forced opponents to discard cards from their hand. The card design utilizes the iconic metallic foil border and holographic aesthetic characteristic of the Diamond & Pearl era, intended to highlight the enhanced power and status of the featured Pokémon.
The artwork was illustrated by Ryo Ueda, a veteran contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his dynamic, often sharp-edged style. Ueda depicted Empoleon in a commanding pose, emphasizing its status as the evolved form of Prinplup. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its tactical utility in competitive water-type decks. It remains a notable piece of the Diamond & Pearl collection, representing a transitional era in the game's evolution where mechanics became increasingly complex and centered around powerful, high-HP 'Level-Up' iterations of popular Pokémon.
