Character info
The character
Luxray is the final evolution of the Shinx line, an Electric-type Pokemon known for its gaze that can reportedly see through objects, including an opponent's true nature. It first appeared in the Sinnoh region games and has since become a recognizable member of the Electric-type roster across the franchise. Luxray is often depicted as a fierce, protective hunter with sharp senses tied to its mane and eyes.
This card
This is Luxray ex from the Twilight Masquerade set, numbered 068/167, a Stage 2 holo card of RR rarity. The artwork, illustrated by PLANETA Yamashita, shows Luxray crackling with electricity in a dynamic close-up pose. The card evolves from Luxio and carries the ex card treatment with the standard ex rule printed at the bottom.
How it plays
This Stage 2 Lightning-type Pokemon has 310 HP and a Fighting-type weakness of x2, with a retreat cost of one. Its first attack, Piercing Gaze, costs two Colorless energy, deals 120 damage, and forces the opponent to reveal their hand so a card can be discarded from it. Its second attack, Volt Strike, costs two Lightning energy, deals 250 damage, and discards all Energy attached to Luxray ex afterward. As a Pokemon ex, if it is knocked out the opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one.
