Luxray is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 150 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series as part of the Battle Styles set released on March 19, 2021. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Fighting-type attacks with a ×2 weakness. The card includes two attacks: Electrostep, which costs one Lightning energy to deal 40 damage to an opponent’s Pokémon and switch with a Benched Pokémon, and Scar Strikes, requiring one Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 100+ damage, with an additional 100 boost if the opponent’s Active Pokémon already has damage counters. Its design is attributed to artist Kazuma Koda, and its flavor text highlights Luxray’s ability to perceive through objects, aiding in detecting threats. The card’s rarity is listed as Rare Holo, and it is numbered 48 in the set.
