Poké-BODY ⇢ Link Lightning
Once during your turn, when you put Raichu LV.X onto Raichu and use Voltage Shoot, you may use another attack of Raichu afterward. This power can’t be used if Raichu is affected by a Special Condition.
{L}{L}{C} → Voltage Shoot
Discard 2 {L} Energy cards from your hand and choose 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon. This attack does 80 to that Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
· Level-Up rule: Put this card onto your Active Raichu. Raichu LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.

Just noticed: Raichu Lv. X’s Poke BODY says “This POWER can’t be used if […]”

It says that a lot in DP cards.

The “once during your turn” and “you may” bits do really make it sound like a Poke-Power though. Powers are activated, Bodies are static… I’m pretty sure it’s a mistake that got reprinted in all languages.

You mean bodies are passive and powers are aggressive.

Just realized this said from hand instead of attached… This changes everything.

this raichu was partially mistranslated, the word “power” in the english printing of this card’s poke-body reads correctly as “body” in the japanese printing. however, it is unique in that it’s the only poke-body ever printed with the “this can’t be used if (pokemon) is affected by a special condition.” clause. we don’t know whether or not link lightning was intended to be a power early on in the design process (it’s possible either way, honestly, because link lightning would work the exact same as either a poke-power or a poke-body) and if that’s just a leftover piece of text some card designer forgot to remove, but it ended up being better for raichu anyways because the environment of 2009 and 2010’s formats were much less kind to poke-powers
