Electivire FB LV.X

Description

The Electivire FB LV.X card, numbered 144, belongs to the Supreme Victors set released by Pokémon in 2009. As a Rare Holo card, it stands out within the collection for its distinctive foil treatment and its classification as an LV.X evolution. This variant is part of the Lightning type family, bringing a unique dynamic to the trading card game landscape of that era. Designed by artist Ryo Ueda, this card features a base HP of 120 and evolves from Electivire FB. The LV.X mechanic allows players to alter the Pokémon's abilities and attacks, providing a strategic shift during gameplay. The card’s primary ability, Energy Recycle, offers a tactical option to search the discard pile for up to three Energy cards, though using it ends the player's turn immediately. This creates a high-risk, high-reward decision point for collectors who appreciate complex mechanics. The attack, Powerful Spark, deals 30 damage plus an additional 10 damage for each Energy attached to all of your Pokémon. This scaling damage potential makes the card a formidable presence in matches, reflecting the power associated with the Lightning type. With a retreat cost of 3, the card requires careful resource management to deploy effectively. For enthusiasts of the Pokémon TCG, this card represents a significant piece of the 2009 Supreme Victors expansion, appealing to those who value both its aesthetic rarity and its functional depth. It remains a notable item for those building comprehensive collections of the series. Understanding the specific attributes of this card, such as its Pokédex number 466 and its unique attack structure, helps collectors appreciate its place in the broader context of the game. The combination of its rare holographic finish and its intricate ability set makes it a standout piece for any serious enthusiast of the franchise's history.
