About this card
Poké-Power: Level-Down
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon LV.X. Remove the Level-Up card from that Pokémon and have your opponent shuffle that card into his or her deck. The power can't be used if Gengar is affected by a Special Condition.
PPCCompound Pain
This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon that already has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
Put this card onto your Active Gengar. Gengar LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.
Weakness:D×2
Resistance:C-20

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Gengar LV.X is real?
Gengar LV.X is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
