Palkia G LV.X
Rotated OutA powerful water-type Level-Up Pokemon that clears the board but has a tricky activation condition.
What this card does
It uses Lost Cyclone to remove most of your opponent's bench if they have four or more Pokemon there.
It attacks with Hydro Shot for 80 damage by discarding two energy cards from itself.
Lost Cyclone
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. Any player who has 4 or more Benched Pokémon chooses 3 of his or her Benched Pokémon. Put the other Benched Pokémon and all cards attached to them in the Lost Zone. (You choose your Pokémon first.) This power can't be used it Palkia G is affected by a Special Condition.
The key ability is Lost Cyclone, which forces players with a crowded bench to send three of their Pokemon and their attached cards to the Lost Zone. This matters because it wipes out support Pokemon and makes them unavailable for the rest of the game.
Attacks
Discard 2 Energy attached to Palkia G. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 80 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
