Giratina LV.X, DP Black Star Promos #DP38

DP Black Star Promos is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on May 1, 2007. The printed size is 56, and the checklist is the same length. Giratina LV.X is DP38/56, in position 38 of 56 on this checklist. Before it is DP37 Dialga LV.X, and after it is DP39 Shaymin LV.X. The listed rarity is Promo.

Giratina LV.X is a Level-Up Psychic Pokémon with 130 HP. The card lists level X. In the Pokédex this is Giratina (#487), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Giratina. In this catalog that name is Giratina (#487).

Shizurow illustrated this card. The same name is on 79 other cards in the catalog.

Giratina (#487) has 29 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2023. The earliest other card is Giratina 4/146 in Legends Awakened (2008). That card is named Giratina, while this one is Giratina LV.X. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Kazuaki Aihara illustrated that card, and Shizurow illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Giratina list a different HP.

Invisible Tentacles is listed as Poké-Body. Whenever your opponent's Pokémon tries to attack, your opponent discards 1 card from his or her hand. (If your opponent can't discard 1 card, your opponent's Pokémon can't attack.) You can't use more than 1 Invisible Tentacles Poké-Body each turn. The attack Darkness Lost lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic, Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If any of your opponent's Pokémon would be Knocked Out by damage from this attack, put that Pokémon and all cards attached to it in the Lost Zone instead of discarding it. Weakness is Darkness ×2. Resistance is Colorless -20. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: Put this card onto your Active Giratina. Giratina LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.

I keep a set binder for DP Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the DP Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Giratina can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina and Pokémon LV.X. I still need this card.
