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 43/159 in Crown Zenith, position 43 of 160. Before it is 42 Luxio, and after it is 44 Luxray. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on 20 January 2023. The printed size is 159. This checklist is longer, at 160 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

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 22 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 sui illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Luxray list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads sui. I count 194 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Crown Zenith set binder is where a full Crown Zenith 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 Rapid Strike. I still need this card.
