I was bored and looking around Wikipedia and looked up Lucario (here)... and stumbled acrossed this text further down in the entry:
Obviously this was written a while back, though there is an english Lucario scan on the page.
Anyways, that reference to Lucario Lv. 42 sortra threw me off... there may be Japanese promo Lucario that's Lv. 42 or whatever (Though I've never seen it), but what's this EX Powers? As far as I know, there's never been any levels in the EX series, and the only Lucarios printed in the EX series are actually EXs (Or during the EX series and are promos, but lack a level). Is this just a completely false statement or what's up with this?
I guess I've been known to trust Wikipedia a little too often but still... :/ The only thing I could guess it would be referencing is EX Power Keepers, and I'm not sure if Japan has gotten it yet so I could thoroughly check the list (Last I saw they got no more than us, but a lot of the cards could be replaced due to the fact many are promo reprints for the sake of American players), and since it will/was released after their DP, some sort of level reference in an additional card is entirely possible.
Wikipedia said:In the Trading Card Game
there are currently no Lucario cards available outside of Japan. However, two Lucario cards are yet to be released outside of Japan:
Diamond & Pearl, as Lucario Lv.30, a Fighting-type holographic card (#6)
Mysterious Treasures, as Lucario Lv.X, a Fighting-type Pokémon Lv.X card
And Lucario Lv 42 In EX Powers
