Lucario 6/130 · Diamond & Pearl

Diamond & Pearl is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 May 2007. The printed size is 130, and the checklist is the same length. Lucario is 6/130, in position 6 of 130 on this checklist. Before it is 5 Infernape, and after it is 7 Luxray. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Lucario is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 30. In the Pokédex this is Lucario (#448), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Riolu. In this catalog that name is Riolu (#447).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Lucario (#448) has 59 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 39 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Lucario LV.X DP12/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Lucario LV.X, while this one is Lucario. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Ryo Ueda illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 50 other cards of Lucario list a different HP.

The attack Feint lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance. Aura Sphere is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting. Does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Psychic +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It has the ability to sense the auras of all things. It understands human speech."

I keep a set binder for Diamond & Pearl, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Diamond & Pearl set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lucario can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Riolu and Lucario. I still need this card.
