Luxray 48/163 · Battle Styles

Luxray is Pokédex #405, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Luxray is a Stage 2 Rapid Strike Lightning Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Luxio. In this catalog that name is Luxio (#404).

Luxray sits at 48/163 in Battle Styles, position 48 of 183. Before it is 47 Luxio, and after it is 49 Pachirisu. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on March 19, 2021. The printed size is 163. This checklist is longer, at 183 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Electrostep lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning. This attack does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Scar Strikes is another attack lists 100+ damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. If your opponent's Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 100 more damage. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Luxray's ability to see through objects comes in handy when it's scouting for danger." The regulation mark is E.

Luxray (#405) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Luxray 7/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mikiko Takeda illustrated that card, and Kazuma Koda illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Luxray list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kazuma Koda. I count 13 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Battle Styles set binder is where a full Battle Styles set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Luxray can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
