Pokemon Card of the Day!

RAYQUAZA C LV X PROMO CARD DP47


For this big-bad-card, I'll of course start with its rarity. It is a promo card found by purchasing/opening a Rayquaza themed tin from the 2007 tins that came out. This card is a Lv X which means if you place it on top of a regular Rayquaza card, it will level up that card, plus you may use any of the attacks or abilities on BOTH cards. The HP is 120 which isn't too bad. The ability for this card is Dragon Spirit; If Rayquaza C is your Active Pokemon and is damaged but not Knocked Out by an opponent's attack, you may search your discard pile for an Energy card and attack it to Rayquaza C. This pretty much means you can place a used Energy back onto Rayquaza C Lv X to use. This card is also Normal type, but the Normal also takes place for Dragon types. For the attack, it only has one but is very powerful. You need to discard 1 water, 1 psycic, 1 fighting, and 1 normal energy card in order to use this attack, which is called Final Blowup. It says, Discard all Energy attached to Rayquaza C. Ignore this effect if you have no cards in your hand. This means in order to use it, you have to sacrifice all energy cards you currently have attached to Rayquaza plus the ones needed to use this attack. If you do not have any Energies in your hand, but the required Energies are attached to Rayquaza, this attack is still used and will deal 200HP damage to the opponent's currently Active Pokemon. This card's weakness is 2x Normal or Dragon since Rayquaza is part Dragon type. It is resisted to Fighting by 2x, and requires 3 Normal energy cards to retreat back into your bench.
Artwork: The art on this card is designed by computer technology. In such, it has a 3D effect and tries to 'jump' out at you while creating an effect to make you think "This is a mean Pokemon." All aside, this card shows deep emphasis, dynamics in the shadows and how it has that 'pop-out' effect.
