The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 2 Energy and returns 10 damage, which is 5 damage for every Energy card attached.

Lucario SWSH186 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Aura Sphere Volley	2 Fighting	2	10+	5	Discard all Fighting Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 60 more damage for each card you discarded in this way.

Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Aura Sphere Volley2 Energy cards

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Aura Sphere Volley 2 Energy10 damage for 2 Energy — 5 per Energy card10

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (10).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Aura Sphere Volley is printed as 10+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

What Lucario SWSH186 does without attacking

Lucario SWSH186 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Roaring Resolve — Ability · once a turn

Once during your turn, you may put 2 damage counters on this Pokémon. If you do, search your deck for a Fighting Energy card and attach it to this Pokémon. Then, shuffle your deck.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Roaring Resolve can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

This effect places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Roaring Resolve puts damage counters on a Pokémon rather than dealing damage to it. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the rules keep them apart: effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them.

Back to summary

Is Lucario SWSH186 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 10 damage attack that needs 2 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

What does being a Fighting card do for Lucario SWSH186?

Of the 717 cards in the archive that can remove Lucario SWSH186 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 60.

Is this the strongest Lucario print, and can the older ones still be played?

14 of the 54 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Which rules apply to Lucario SWSH186, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

Rulebook clauses that apply to Lucario SWSH186
Clause	What the rulebook says	Cards it applies to	Share of the archive
Weakness	Some Pokemon have Weakness or Resistance to Pokemon of certain types, marked in the lower-left corner of the card.	16,744 cards	81.9%

Energy per turn	You can attach Energy just once each turn!	17,180 cards	84.0%

Counted across 20,444 English cards. A clause applies to this card because the card carries the property the clause names, not because we judged it to.

Lucario SWSH186 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Aura Sphere Volley, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 5 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Riolu has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Fighting cardsNo. 564 of 1,884

Stage 1 cardsNo. 1,051 of 5,102

What actually removes it

A Psychic attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
720 cards in the archive clear that bar.

Lucario SWSH186 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Lucario SWSH186?

Lucario SWSH186 has 120 HP and a Psychic weakness at ×2, so a Psychic attack printed at 60 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 120.

What is the strongest attack on Lucario SWSH186?

Aura Sphere Volley, printed at 10 damage for 2 Energy — 5 damage per Energy card. Discard all Fighting Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 60 more damage for each card you discarded in this way.

What is the retreat cost of Lucario SWSH186?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the + after the damage on Aura Sphere Volley mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Discard all Fighting Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 60 more damage for each card you discarded in this way."

How often can you use Roaring Resolve?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Lucario in play carries its own use.

Does Lucario SWSH186 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Lucario print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 54 prints listed on this page, 14 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Lucario evolve from?

Riolu. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Lucario SWSH186 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark F. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Lucario SWSH186 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
