Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray form one of the more consistently reprinted three-stage lines in the modern Japanese Pokemon TCG — not because any single card is a headline chase pull, but because Luxray keeps turning up as a solid supporting piece, set after set, from a 2014 Wild Blaze Uncommon through a 2026 Rare in Munikis Zero.
This guide walks through every confirmed Japanese Luxray print — ten of them across eight sets, spanning 2014 to 2026 — and matches each modern-era card to the sealed booster box it comes out of, including the sets where Shinx rides along in the same pack. It’s a sourcing guide, not an inventory list: we don’t currently carry Luxray or Shinx singles in stock, so every purchase link here points to sealed product or to Quick Order for a sourcing request. We ship Japanese sealed product out of Tokyo every week.
Ten confirmed Japanese Luxray prints span eight sets from 2014 to 2026, and Shinx is confirmed alongside Luxray in four of the six booster boxes we currently carry. The fastest sourcing route is sealed product: the SV6 Transformation Mask Booster Box carries Luxray ex, and the M3 Munikis Zero Booster Box is the newest print. Restock requests and sourcing for anything else on this list run through Quick Order.
Card details below are drawn from individual card pages on Limitless TCG’s Japanese database as of August 2026. This is a sourcing guide, not a price guide — we don’t publish market prices here, only which sealed products contain which Japanese prints.
Every Japanese Luxray Print We’ve Verified
Ten confirmed prints across eight Japanese sets, from the 2014 Wild Blaze original to the 2026 Munikis Zero release:
| Card | Number | Rarity | Set | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxray | XY2 #29 | Uncommon | Wild Blaze | 2014 |
| Luxray | SM5M #20 | Rare | Ultra Moon | 2017 |
| Luxray | S9 #39 | Uncommon | Star Birth | 2022 |
| Luxray V | S10D #21/067 | Double Rare | Time Gazer | 2022 |
| Luxray V (SA) | S10D #70 | Secret Rare | Time Gazer | 2022 |
| Luxray | SV2D #21 | Rare | Clay Burst | 2023 |
| Luxray (Shiny) | SV4a #242/190 | Shiny Rare | Shiny Treasure ex | 2023 |
| Luxray ex | SV6 #41/101 | Double Rare | Transformation Mask | 2024 |
| Luxray ex (SR) | SV6 #118 | Secret Rare | Transformation Mask | 2024 |
| Luxray | M3 #27 | Rare | Munikis Zero | 2026 |
Two patterns run through the list. First, among the Secret Rare-tier prints above, the S10D #70 Secret Rare is a Special Art version with its own illustrator (MUGENUP), while the SV4a Shiny Rare print is a shiny recolor of the standard illustration. Second, the gap between prints has closed: Luxray went from one print roughly every three years in the 2010s to a new one almost every year once the Scarlet & Violet era started. The sections below cover each print in order.
The Early Prints: Wild Blaze and Ultra Moon
Luxray’s earliest print verified in this guide is Wild Blaze (XY2 #29), released March 15, 2014 and illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga. It’s a two-stage, Lightning-type card at 140 HP, and its English equivalent is Flashfire #34. Three and a half years later, Ultra Moon (SM5M #20) reprinted Luxray at Rare, illustrated by Akira Komayama, bumping HP to 150. Its English equivalent is Ultra Prism #48.
Neither of these two early prints is currently matched to a booster box in our catalog, so if you’re specifically after the Wild Blaze or Ultra Moon copy, that’s a sourcing request through Quick Order rather than a sealed-box route.
Luxray V and the Secret Rare from Time Gazer
Time Gazer (S10D), released April 8, 2022, gave Luxray its first V treatment: a Lightning-type, 210 HP card carrying the attack Fang Snipe — look at the opponent’s hand and discard one Trainer card from it. The standard Double Rare print is #21/067, illustrated by AKIRA EGAWA; a Secret Rare version, #70, is illustrated by MUGENUP. English equivalents across the pair: Astral Radiance #50 and #168.
Time Gazer is also the set that carries Regigigas’s “Ancient Wisdom” trio card, so it’s a mixed-interest box for Sinnoh-era collectors — not every pull is a Luxray, but the set overlaps with more than one long-running line.
Clay Burst and the Shiny Treasure ex Reprint
Clay Burst (SV2D), released April 14, 2023, carries the standard-format Luxray at #21, Lightning-type, 150 HP, illustrated by aoki. Its ability, Overflowing Fighting Spirit, lets you put this card from your hand straight onto your Bench — without evolving through Shinx or Luxio first — whenever you have more Prize cards remaining than your opponent. English equivalent: Paldea Evolved #71.
Eight months later, Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a), released December 1, 2023, reprinted the same card at Shiny Rare under card number 242/190, illustrated by kantaro. The set also carries a non-shiny reprint at #61, illustrated by aoki. Both are the same attack and ability as the Clay Burst original — the difference is entirely in the shiny coloring and rarity tier. English equivalent: Paldean Fates #137.
Luxray ex: Double Rare and Secret Rare from Transformation Mask
Luxray’s only ex print so far comes from Mask of Change, the set we carry as Transformation Mask (SV6), released April 26, 2024. It’s a two-stage, Lightning-type card at 310 HP, illustrated by PLANETA Yamashita for both the Double Rare (#41/101) and Secret Rare (#118) versions. Its attack, Piercing Eyes, deals 120 damage and lets you choose and discard one card from the opponent’s hand. English equivalents: Twilight Masquerade #68 and #195.
This is also the set where Dreepy and Dragapult ex first appeared — if you’re chasing Dragapult from the same era, our Dragapult cards guide covers that side of the box.
Double Rare, Secret Rare, and Shiny Rare aren’t interchangeable labels — they mark distinct rarity tiers within the modern Japanese set structure. If the terminology across this guide is unfamiliar, our Japanese Pokemon card rarities explained guide breaks down how each tier fits into a set’s print run.
The Newest Print: Luxray in Munikis Zero
Luxray’s most recent print is Nihil Zero, the set we carry as Munikis Zero (M3), released January 23, 2026. It’s a two-stage, Lightning-type card at 150 HP, illustrated by Taiga Kasai. Its attack, Assault, deals 70 damage multiplied by the number of Prize cards you’ve already taken — a scaling attack that gets stronger as a game goes on. English equivalent: Perfect Order #28.
As the newest release covered in this guide, Munikis Zero is also the set with the least secondary trading history so far. If you’re building toward the current Standard format rather than chasing the older Transformation Mask ex, this is the print to look for.
Sourcing Shinx and Luxio Alongside Luxray
Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray are a standard three-stage evolution line. We’ve confirmed Shinx in four of the six boxes matched below: Clay Burst (SV2D #19), Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a #59/#240), Transformation Mask (SV6 #39), and Munikis Zero (M3 #25). We haven’t been able to confirm a Shinx print in Time Gazer (S10D), so we’re not listing one there.
We don’t have individual card facts on file for Luxio specifically — unlike Shinx and Luxray, no Luxio print turned up in our set-by-set verification for this guide, so we’re not going to guess at a card number or illustrator. If you’re chasing the full three-stage line as singles, Quick Order is the right channel to ask what’s currently sourceable.
Like Garchomp — another Sinnoh-region Pokemon we’ve covered in a separate guide — Luxray was introduced in Diamond & Pearl and has been reprinted steadily ever since. If you’re comparing the two lines, see our Garchomp cards guide for the parallel Sinnoh-starter-adjacent lineup. Luxray also hasn’t received a Japanese LV.X or Prime treatment in any set we’ve verified — for how that older mechanic worked on the cards that do carry it, our Pokemon LV.X cards guide covers the format in full.
Sourcing Every Print Through Sealed Boxes
Six of the ten confirmed Luxray prints match to a booster box in our current catalog. Wild Blaze and Ultra Moon aren’t currently matched to a sealed box in our lineup, so those two prints run through Quick Order as sourcing requests rather than a box link.
| Set | Box | Luxray Print(s) Inside | Shinx Confirmed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Star Birth (S9) | Booster Box | Luxray #39 | — |
| Time Gazer (S10D) | Booster Box | Luxray V #21/067, #70 | — |
| Clay Burst (SV2D) | Booster Box | Luxray #21 | Yes (#19) |
| Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) | Booster Box | Luxray #61/#242 | Yes (#59/#240) |
| Transformation Mask (SV6) | Booster Box | Luxray ex #41/101, #118 | Yes (#39) |
| Munikis Zero (M3) | Booster Box | Luxray #27 | Yes (#25) |
If you’re specifically after the newest print, the M3 Munikis Zero Booster Box is the direct route to Luxray, Shinx, and everything else in that release.
Where to Buy Japanese Luxray Cards
We ship Japanese sealed product worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery. Luxray and Shinx singles aren’t part of our current stock, so sourcing runs through the six booster boxes matched above — including SV6 Transformation Mask for the ex line and M3 Munikis Zero for the newest print — our wider Japanese Pokemon booster box collection, or a direct sourcing request through Quick Order for any print, including Wild Blaze and Ultra Moon.
For graded copies of other current-era Japanese pulls under a set budget, our best PSA 10 Japanese cards under ¥10,000 guide is a useful next stop, and our Japanese Pokemon card rarities explained guide covers how Common through Secret Rare tiers work across the sets referenced here.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Japanese Luxray Pokemon cards are there?
Ten confirmed prints across eight Japanese sets, spanning Wild Blaze (2014) through Munikis Zero (2026). That includes the early standard-format prints, the Time Gazer Luxray V and its Secret Rare, the Clay Burst / Shiny Treasure ex pair, and the Transformation Mask Luxray ex.
Does Luxray have an ex print in the Japanese TCG?
Yes — one so far. Luxray ex was printed in Transformation Mask (SV6 #41/101, Double Rare, and #118, Secret Rare), released April 26, 2024. Its attack, Piercing Eyes, deals 120 damage and discards one card from the opponent’s hand.
Is Shinx in the same booster boxes as Luxray?
In four of the six current-catalog boxes, yes: Clay Burst, Shiny Treasure ex, Transformation Mask, and Munikis Zero all carry a confirmed Shinx print alongside Luxray. Shinx hasn’t been confirmed in the Time Gazer box, and we don’t have Luxio card data on file for any set.
Where can I buy Japanese Luxray Pokemon cards?
We ship Japanese sealed product worldwide from Tokyo. Luxray singles aren’t currently in stock, so sourcing runs through the six booster boxes matched in this guide — including SV6 Transformation Mask for the ex line and M3 Munikis Zero for the newest print — or through a direct request via our Quick Order page.
