I have decided to write a bit about my most anticipated card. This card better come soon, Garchomp deck will definitely become a real tough in the current metagame. I wish it had come on GE, but what the heck.....

Garchomp L.X – Colorless – HP140
Level Up

Poke-Power: Dragon Pulse
This Power can be used once during your turn, when this card is played from your hand to Level Up a Pokemon. Flip 3 coins, for each heads place 1 damage counter on each of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon.

[.] Rebirth: Search your discard pile for 1 Pokemon card (excluding Pokemon L.X) and play it on your Bench as a Basic Pokemon. Then, search your discard pile for up to 3 Basic Energy cards and attach them to that Pokemon.

Weakness: Colorless (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 0
(Thanks to Bangiras and nanimonoka for translation)

Artwork - A really nice illustration, much better than SW Garchomp. This artwork really fits a Lv.X.

HP 140 - An increase of 10 from its previous level, this does help a bit.

Poke-Power - Absolutely fantastic, you might be able to knock-out some benched pokemon. One of the weakness of playing Garchomp is its inability to harm benched pokemon, Lv.X definitely inproves that.

Attack - What can I say? Rebirth being an energyless attack with such effects, this is really by far the best energyless attack. Just imagine having a Garchomp knocked out on the previous turn, just play a Garchomp lv.X, use rebirth and you repaet your opponent's nightmare again. Also by letting you choose 3 Basic Energy cards from the discard pile and attach to Garchomp means it is ready to attack, and you can pick the right energies for Rainbow Scale to come into effect. I rate this 10/10!

Weakness - x2 weakness to colorless is not good, Blissey will knock-out this card with ease

Resistance - Having no resistance is not really good, but this card still owns.

Retreat Cost - What can I say? No retreat cost is just awesome. I would use Rebirth, then go back into the bench wait till your opponent knocks out your Garchomp again, you send Lv.X back up and use Rebirth. Its really nightmare over and over again!

Please print this card in English ASAP! I really can't wait.....

well i think the one and most dissapointing thing is that it gets OHKO'ed by regular garchomp
i like that card but that one fact might be the dip in popularity that all popular cards experiance
 
garchomp will be pretty good but if your facing garchomp its gonna be pretty tough and if your opp has a blissey with enough energy to ko you your done for so just hope these two cards aernt huge in your meta game.^__^
 
It isn't.

You can only play 1 of them in a stable build. It won't survive over 2 blows (140 isn't a big improvement over 130, you still get 2-shotted by stuff like Empoleon), it will only dish out 2 Rebirths tops.

That said, it is a good card and it will see competive play. Just keep in mind that he's more vulnerable as you'd like him to be.
 
I think it's fun. It allows you to play random Stage 2 cards in your deck with no basics to match them ^o^

I'd play it just so I can say I put like, Charizard ex and Torterra in the same deck ^o^
 
It'd be a nice little tech when it finally comes out (please, oh please be in POP7!), but mostly for Dragon Pulse rather than Rebirth. Use that wisely and you could have a few KO's at the ready.
 
I don't think it will be very popular. While it's a good card it's combo ability is very limited. Also it is slower having to be leveled up from a stage two. It will be big for a couple tournaments and fall fast.
