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

The attack Energy Crush lists 50× damage. The cost is Lightning. This attack does 50 damage for each Energy attached to all of your opponent's Pokémon. Flash Impact is another attack lists 110 damage. The cost is Lightning. This attack also does 30 damage to 1 of your Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

The regulation mark is F.

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. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mikiko Takeda illustrated that card, and Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Luxray list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ayaka Yoshida. I count 128 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Brilliant Stars set binder is where a full Brilliant Stars 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.
