Collector’s notes

Empoleon 117/116 (Plasma Freeze)
This Empoleon is the shiny version, its usual deep blue swapped for a paler, icier palette, lunging forward with flipper blades spread against a swirling purple and pink cosmic background. Art by Ayaka Yoshida, it sits beyond the main set list as a secret rare, and the flavor text notes its unusual color. Sinnoh starter fans and shiny collectors both chase this one from Plasma Freeze.
Empoleon LV.X 120/130 (Diamond & Pearl)
Empoleon LV.X shows the Sinnoh water starter lunging straight at you, its golden trident crest and steel wing blades sweeping through a swirl of blue water against a sparkling holo field. Art by Shizurow, it has a sharp, dynamic CGI look typical of the early LV.X cards. As one of the first LV.X cards in the Diamond & Pearl set, it draws starter fans and era collectors alike.
Empoleon LV.X DP11 (DP Black Star Promos)
Empoleon LV.X fills the frame in a tight, dynamic close-up, its golden trident crest and steel-blue flipper blades sweeping across a dark green background dotted with glowing bokeh lights, art by Shizurow. The sparkly holo border and Level-Up layout mark it as a classic Diamond & Pearl era card, and fans of the Sinnoh water starter track it down as a standout promo from that run.
