Electivire Lv.X
A great card for great decks!

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Electivire Lv.X is a great card for electric decks, because it is one of the few pokemon that can do 50 damage with two energies and not have to discard energies. Also, it isn't a big Stage Two pokemon like other Lv.X's, but still as powerful.

USES
Most people would use this card to stop your opponent from getting too many trainer cards out with his Pulse Barrier attack. People could also use it against pokemon with lots of energy cost, because its going to get 60-100 damage done to it by the time it gets all the required energies.

STRATEGIES
The best strategy is to get three or four energies on to Electivire Lv.X so it can use Electivire's strong attacks for the little boost you need to KO your opponent.

WAYS TO COUNTERACT THIS CARD
The best way to destroy this card is to bring out a fighting type. Electivire Lv.X has a X2 weakness to fire along with an unusually low HP for a Lv.X, making 60 damage from a fighting type a one-hit KO.

STRENGTH
The best part about this card is its attacks and pokebody. With its pokebody, it can dish out 20 damage to any card that gets energies attached onto it. Its attack does an lot of damage
for how little energies he needs. It can also use attacks from Electivire, which can do tons of damage without the Lv.X.

WEAKNESS
Its biggest weakness is its X2 fighting weakness and its low HP for a Lv.X, which makes it extremely weak to fighting types.

VARIATIONS
As far as I know, there are no variations of Electivire Lv.X.

ARTWORK
What I like about the artwork is that it looks very realistic, and the electricity coming from its hands make it look invincible.

OVERALL RATING
I'd give it a 10/10 because it is one of the best diamond and pearl cards that has been released.
