Luxio is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 25. In the Pokédex this is Luxio (#404), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Shinx. In this catalog that name is Shinx (#403). The card lists Luxray, Luxray (#405) under evolves to.
Suwama Chiaki illustrated this card. The same name is on 102 other cards in the catalog.
Luxio (#404) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Luxio 52/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Suwama Chiaki illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Luxio list a different HP.
The attack Kick lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. Discharge is another attack lists 40× damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless. Discard all Lightning Energy attached to Luxio. Flip a coin for each Energy card you discarded. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fighting +20. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Strong electricity courses through the tips of its sharp claws. A light scratch causes fainting in foes."
I keep a set binder for Arceus, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Arceus set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Luxio can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
