Strategy & play
How Luxray plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Gadget Bolt) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Lightning Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥60 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Luxio first).
- Seen in 0% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 1 copy.
How to beat Luxray
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

About this card
"It can see clearly through walls to track down its prey and seek its lost young."
LFlash — 30
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
LCCGadget Bolt — 60
If Luxray has a Pokémon Tool card attached to it, you may do 100 damage instead of 60 to the Defending Pokémon. If you do, discard that Pokémon Tool card.
Weakness:F+30
Resistance:M-20

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Luxray is real?
Luxray is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
