CGC Cards Featured Card of the Month: Gengar LV.X
Posted on 7/11/2024
Game: Pokémon
Set: Platinum: Arceus
Card: Gengar LV.X
What makes it special? Gengar LV.X’s Poké-Power, Level Down, made it a force to be reckoned with in battle. Once every turn, the player controlling Gengar LV.X could use Level Down to de-level any Pokémon on the opponent’s side, forcing them to remove a first or second-stage Pokémon card and shuffle it back into their deck. Opponents could counter this Poké-Power by afflicting Gengar LV.X with a status condition, but not every deck was equipped with Pokémon that could do so.
Did you know? Apparently, Gengar is one of the favorite Pokémon of Atsushi Nagashima, the game director of the Pokémon TCG. His favorite cards include the Neo Destiny Dark Gengar and Gengar LV.X, and Gengar continues to be featured frequently in modern Pokémon TCG sets because of this.
