I hate this card, as it stops so many cool decks by Dialga G Lv X just even EXISTING in the format, let alone being played.

It's not going to be played anywhere NEAR as much as it's hyped up to be, though. It's what's called hype around the pokemon community... =/
 
Well I want to give it a 0.357/10, because I was going to play a body based deck at stated, but that would be cruel of me to judge on the bias.
This card is incredible. Along with a couple of other cards (LV MAX) this is a format changer. I foresee a massive amount of play and with good reason. 10/10

Best in a Sp. conditions deck or a SP deck, otherwise, leaves alot to be desired.

I have to disagree here. It is far better in Gigas... like 4 times better.

The problem with this card is its retreat of 2. If it had a retreat of 1, it would be a solid 10/10. This 2 Retreat makes it rather hard to get out of the active spot in an SP deck unless you have Warp Point in hand.

Gigas decks have soooo many options to get him from the active spot, though. You have Switch, Palkia Lv. x, Warp Point, and Level Max to just Level him up on the bench.

9.5/10 for Retreat Cost.

I hope you're kidding. If this card didn't exist, then Ampharos and Torterra would be almost at GG archetype status...

10/10 now... 5/10 after the next few sets.

Let's face it, it's amazing (I daresay, Game-breaking) in the current format. However, after the next few sets come out, SP Decks will be flooding the place, and this will likely still only break decks like Scizim, Ampharos, and Torterra... And barely. Torterra can work around this, after all. (Can't say much about Scizor/Cherim.)

Imma not even rate this card in my normal way.
its to amazing to rate. 10/10. the lockdown and the attack..easy to play. its so perfect. <3
 
This card seriously makes you question your play strategy and deck building while simultaneously forcing all decks to come up with some type of tech or counter(much like the unknown G trend)and there is no one-hundred percent fool proof tech. This card rips through Shaymin, reduces Sceptile to tears, and absolutely wrecks Giratina LV.X and torterrible (you gotta forest murmors ASAP!)

Body combined with the massive onslaught of support that SP pokemon enjoy, energy gains, free scoop ups, searchability on par with instant gratification, Dialga G Lv.X is a game changing force that cannot be ignored when ruminating over what deck to run. And the options are seemingly limitless, as it works well with several stadiums, notably Snowpoint for a 140 hp tank. Moreover, lest you forget the more-than-decent basic form and its mild splashability, you're in trouble.

I love Dialga. I hate Dialga G. lv.X, with bias as I'm a torterriblite.

10/10

GO Mitshurio! Woo!
 
Quite possibly the most overrated card I've seen in years, and the only competition is RaichuX. It is good, really good when used correctly, but most decks won't be able to use it comfortably, and that's speaking of the deck strategy and the actual build itself. 8/10
 
i loathe, despise, and detest this card- largely due to the fact that i play scizor/cherrim but oh well. i did KO one at league though!!

i do agree that this card is over rated but oh well........
apart from that ive got to say this a game breaker!!! 9/10
 
true it stops every body in the format but were bodys that unbalanced right now to begin with? I don't think so. A great card thats bad for the game.

9/10
 
Ah yes, Dialga G Lv X. Probably the most hyped card of the Platinum set, Dialga G Lv X has the ability to cripple many decks. Statwise, 120 HP is good, x2 Weakness to :fire: is fine since :fire: is not played much, -20 Resistance to :psychic: is great with all the Dusknoirs and Gengars hanging around, and :colorless:colorless to Retreat is reasonable. Time Crystal of course is why this card is so feared; shutting down all Poke-Bodies besides SP Pokemon means that every "regular" Pokemon with a Poke-Body is affected. Remove Lost is also an ok attack, though likely you won't be using it; for :metal::metal::colorless:colorless, it'll deal a solid 80 damage, plus for each Heads you flip, you get to send an Energy on the Defending into the Lost Zone.

Modified - 9/10 (Time Crystal has the ability to stop many decks, making this a very feared card for States if your deck is reliant on Poke-Bodies)
Limited - 4/10 (Throw it in the binder to protect it imo, but if you want, he's an ok attacker if you get his Basic form also)
Unlimited - 1/10 (Bodies aren't used too much I think, since the vast majority of what we consider Bodies these days are still Powers with older cards)
 
A gamebreaking card that destroys Kamukaze and Skittles. That attack that removes any hopes of getting the energies back from the skittles deck are hopeless. 10/10
 
So broken... shuts down my precious Garchomps... Definitely format changing. Its attack is also very good for decks that can use it.

10/10

LOL I'm not going to start on what's wrong with that statement.

7/10 tops, EXTREMELY overrated card.
 
This card is really BROKEN Time crystal rules! o_O'
1-1 Dialga G Lv.X in some current metagame decks are STAPLES!!!
His attack is really good to.

Awesome! 10/10
 
NOOOOOO!!!! DIALGA LV.X!!!! AHHHHH!!!! MY BUGGIES AND MY FLOWERS ARE DEAD!!!!!!

Why is it that every time a deck that I like comes out, a counter comes out right after it???

But, putting that aside, it's a great card. I may (MAY) put aside my buggies to play it. That's saying something, and a lot of the people who know me will tell you that I will rarely put aside a deck that I like.

The Body. That's the bit.
Dialga is a god for a reason. Let's not argue about it.

8/10 with all bias removed.
