Strategy & play

How Lucario VSTAR plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Fighting Knuckle) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 120 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Fighting type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥135 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
  • Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

How to beat Lucario VSTAR

  • Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥135 damage one-shots it.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

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.
