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
The Empoleon LV.X card, numbered DP11 in the Diamond & Pearl Black Star Promos series, was released in 2007 to coincide with the introduction of the Level X mechanic in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. These cards were designed to represent a higher stage of evolution for already evolved Pokémon, reflecting the strategic evolution of the game’s meta at the time. The artwork for this promotional release captures Empoleon in a dynamic, high-contrast pose consistent with the visual direction of the Diamond & Pearl era.
The design emphasizes the 'Level X' aesthetic, characterized by a holographic foil pattern that spans the entire card, distinct from standard holographic variants. It was distributed through organized play events and retail blister packs, serving as a marquee promotional item to draw interest toward the new gameplay mechanics. While it was not a centerpiece of the main expansion sets, it remains a notable example of the transitional design language used during the transition to the Generation IV card sets.
