The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo LV.X. Mikiko Takeda illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Luxray list a different HP.

Rising Rivals set binder is where a full Rising Rivals 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). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards and Pokémon LV.X. I still need this card.
