What this card does

Luxray GL deals 30 damage with a simple two energy attack called Bite.

It can deal 70 damage using Trash Bolt, but you must discard an Energy card from your hand to use it.

Signature attack

Trash Bolt

Discard an Energy card from your hand. (If you can't discard a card from your hand, this attack does nothing.) (70 damage)

The key feature of this card is its second attack which allows for high damage output. It matters because it lets your child remove a used or unwanted Energy card while attacking simultaneously.
