Behold Empoleon LV. X:

Yes, he's pretty. I was recently able to obtain one, and I just noticed something particularly odd about him. Notice how he has the Poke-Body icon, yet the name of the "Body" is in red? Shouldn't that be green instead?

Also, at the end of his "Body," it says "This power can't be used if Empoleon is affected by a Special Condition." That's a pretty odd considering that a) it states that it's a body, not a power, and b) I can't think of a Poke-Body that was passive until you willingly activated it.

My question is, what is this ruled as? Is it truly a Poke-Body that works exactly like a Poke-Power, or is that a misprint and it should be treated like a Poke-Power instead? I have yet to read the most recent card rulings for Diamond and Pearl, so I'm curious.
 
it is a pokepower
Card Error Alert: Empoleon LV. X from Diamond & Pearl contains an error. Its Poké-Power symbol was printed with the Poké-Body symbol. In all cases, play Empoleon's effect as a Poké-Power. The game play of the effect remains unchanged.
