What it does
Whenever your opponent's Pokémon tries to attack, your opponent discards 1 card from his or her hand. (If your opponent can't discard 1 card, your opponent's Pokémon can't attack.) You can't use more than 1 Invisible Tentacles Poké-Body each turn.
This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If any of your opponent's Pokémon would be Knocked Out by damage from this attack, put that Pokémon and all cards attached to it in the Lost Zone instead of discarding it.
Put this card onto your Active Giratina. Giratina LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.

Where it came from
The Giratina LV.X card, numbered DP38 in the DP Black Star Promos series, was released in 2009 as part of a promotional campaign for the Pokémon Platinum video game. It was designed to highlight the legendary Pokémon's Origin Forme, a core feature of the game's narrative that explores the Distortion World. These cards were distributed primarily through the Pokémon Organized Play program and specific retail blister packs, serving as a tactical incentive for players to integrate the powerful LV.X mechanic into their decks.
The card features artwork by Shizurow, an illustrator known for a sharp, metallic aesthetic that emphasizes the ghostly and formidable nature of Giratina. By utilizing the LV.X mechanic, which allowed a Pokémon to level up while maintaining its previous attacks and abilities, the design sought to provide a significant competitive edge in the meta-game of the time. Upon release, the card was well-received by the player base for its distinctive foil finish and its utility in specialized psychic-type deck builds.
