is the poke body a misprint?
is it supposed to be a poke-power?
and also the bit cant be used if he has a special condition. well how can he if hes just leveled up?
 
It should be a PokePower, but it is still treated as a Body, if I'm correct. As in, you can't use it if Dialga G LV.X is in play, and it can't be Power Sprayed. Also as for the Sp. COndidtions part, some cards have effects that make you unable to remove Status effects by Leveling up or Evolving.
 
And it says this POWER can't be used if he's being affected by a Special Condition.

Yes, it was a misprint, but it went under the radar and was never fixed, when it first popped-up it was a couple sets back.

I wouldn't call it a mis-print. It's sort of a mis-translation, although that is the best way to say what's going on. The Japanese card was a body, and that's the way the card was designed.
 
The other misprint on the card is that it doesn't say 80 damage. I tell people I'm going to use voltage shoot to do 80 knock-knock jokes to one of their pokemon.

There was a toxicroak from MT I believe that kept a pokemon from removing a special condition when evolving or leveling up. Its obscure, but its still possible.
 
This card actually has two miss print, it says 80 instead of 80 damage + its power being listed as a body, which has been said. Also I believe that its power is treated as a body thanks to the misprint http://pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=69760
 
Wow. That card is epic. This attack does 80 to the defending Pokemon.

because when you level up you don't hafe to attack right away so that is why it is a poke body.

But Salamence Lv. X has a similar effect that is a power. You use double fall when you level up, but you don't get its benefit until you knock something out. Personally, though I think Salamence is the weird one. I'm guessing they made it a power so it could be canceled so it didn't become overpowered.

I don't agree here. It doesn't have a power at all. That part isn't a misprint. The part thats a misprint is the "This power can't be used" It could have easily be worded as "This body can't be used"

Cancelling an attack with power spray dosent make so much sense amish. But power spraying slamance x poke power does.

It would work EXACTLY like salamence's power if link lightning were a power. You would use the power when you level up, and that would let you use both attacks when you are in your attack phase.
 
Its to series to be a pokemon power and you cant use power spray to stop them useing another attack. And its just to series to be a pokemon power it should be a poke body witch it is.
 
But if you can only use it the turn you put it down and it's by choice then surely it shoul be a power because bodies are always in effect

He's actually got a good point. Poke-Bodies aren't optional. Or at least I can't think of one that is.
 
just wondering then is there an official answer or are we to treat this as a poke body?

EDIT: sorry just read earlier post's and found the answer i must have skimmed it the first time
 
yeahbut they stop them using the power which lets them attack twice.
thats why i think this is misprinted. because as far as im aware there are NO poke bodies which are optional. and only a 1 time thing.

im pretty sure this is supposed to be a power. because there is also no bodies which cant be used if your affected by special conditions
