combo with mantine and empoleon or swampert it's a pretty freakin sweet card.

9/10.

[BloodDraek]

I think it is definetly a good card, but because of its 3 energy retreat cost, restructure on the bench is dangerous. Yet, this is still a great card, almost got beat at states to my friend Sam playing a Swampert/Mantine/Palkia Lv.X deck.

8.5/10

[AnimeDDR110]

Put into a Swampert/Mantine or Empoleon deck, and this crad is good to go.
its poke-power is okay.
But the 3 RC is risky to play.

8/10.

[kristi]

This card is underrated. A double gust every turn is just good. I made it work in GG and Swampert.

9/10

[tglilly]

This card is decent IMO. It combos well with Swampert and Empoleon. It's power is almost like a gust of wind if you combo it with Mantine.
I give it a 7/10.

[ape101]

Best LvX in GE. Close to broken with mantine

9/10

[PokePockets]

This card is awesome. I think it is very underrated. Moving energy while doing 60 damage isn't bad, and it's Double Gust power is what everybody should be looking at on this card. Paired with Mantine, that 3 RC becomes almost nothing to you.

9/10

[Azure Kite]

Really good card. Palkia, run with just the right water type can be incredibly broken. Its got a bad retreat cost, but great power and solid attack. Weakness is not a problem since theres not many (if any) lightning pokemon being massively used, except for maybe Electivire.

8.8/10

[Pinsir52]

Yeah, everybody's said it. Combo with mantine for a gust of wind. Rather nice card.

7/10ish

[Muscovy Level X]

Good if you have an almost/all water deck with mantine. And just godly with Weavile SW and Moonlight stadium.
Switches work pretty well, too.

[Chu51595]

Honestly, it's pretty good and underrated. However, it only combos well with Mantine and a water attacker. Also, if water gets popular(and it will after DP05 is released), then things like Electivire and Magnezone X will pwn this card. 8/10.

[KAZUTO!!!]

Palkia Lv.X is an okay card. A GoW every turn is godly, but your opponent also gets that GoW effect. It's 3 RC is it's major falling point, if it had 2 I think more people would like this card. It combos with Manrtine, Empo, and Swampert nicely. Switch is nice with it too, and it is a useful tech in G&G.

7.5/10

Please reread the rules of this forum.
Members are to post their own review of the card, not comments on others' reviews, and certainly not arguments back and forth.

[SLOW DECK]

As a "Solo" Card, it is trips over it self, literally. But if you pair it with Mantine, (Which I have), you have a Great Deck. The deck it self is red face powder, and doesn't beat everything, but red face powder enough that can beat people who don't know how to play against it. If you play against enough with GG, a good GG can beat it.

Thus as Grade with Mantine
9/10

[poketo]

If you play a 2-2 and get both out your oppoenent will have a hard time defeating it but i might just be a tech for a magmortar deck

Don't know if it will do any other deck since i don't own a lot of the recent cards
8.5

[rhodesia123]

i use palkia in my mantine/empoleon/pelipper deck. i beat magmortar but lose to everything else, so it sorta balances out.

10/10

[spazcrackers]

7/10

i give this rating based on the fact that i've seen it work with mantine and gardevoir lv X. without the aid of those pokemon,switch,warp point this card fails in this metagame vs the top tier decks. personally i think GE will improve the scenario for this card but until then it's binder material unless you are basing your entire deck around it's power.

[Dennis Hawk]

There's so many possibilities to turn this card from Double Gust to Gust of Wind. And GOW is one of the best trainers ever.

- Mantine
- Warp Energy
- Ampharos d + Pelipper d (<- BDIF)
- Gardevoir Lv. X + Moonlight Stadium/Phoebe's
- Switch/Warp Point
- Weavile SW + Moonlight Stadium
- Holon WP + Psychic Energy (your other pokémon should have low to no retreat, though)

Even if you can't use any of those in your deck, Palkia can come in handy with Swampert (Come on, 60 without change to lose your energies and Double Gust) - not to mention Double Gust is pretty good by itself. Definitely one of the better Lv. Xs out there.

8½/10

[Tentacruel13]

Definetely one of the better and easier to get Lv.Xs out there. For $30 you can get two and 8 packs of cards. It combos well in any water deck and creates very well synergy.

Overall:8.5/10
But Magnezone Lv.X will get popular if this card is overused.

[Broccili_ Boy]

I say 2nd best tech In the format (Next to dusknoir of course)
I play it in My G&G It works with 3 Swirch and A couple WP
Great card

Good Point. Palkia X + Dusknoir + WPs might be a good tech for G&G.

[Ricardo]

This Card Is pretty dang good with Blissey and Empoleon.

[Steve=0]

Palkia lvlX


..is darn good..

HP/Weakness/Resistance/RC:
Very good Hp in 120. Acceptable Weakness. Little too high RC.

Pre-level:
Normal Palkia does not impress. Transback can be somewhat useful when your opponent have only 1 pokemon in game.

Restructrure:
A very good power when paired with water pokemon (swampert/empoleon/feraligatr) and mantine. You can then make a Gust of Wind every turn to choise your target. Its so many options with this..

Hydro Reflect:
This didn't suck too. With Swampert GE you can always save the energies from that incoming psychic cut. If Palkia lvlX survive that attack, you can repeat hydro reflect for "free".

Overall Palkia is awesome. His attack and power are both useful, and it has very good amoung of HP.
Best LvlX in GE indeed.

Modified: 9.0

Awesome

This could be a G&G tech with the right build. 8.0/10.0
