Lucario VSTAR SWSH214 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Fighting Knuckle	1 Fighting + 2 Colorless	3	120+	40	If your opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon V, this attack does 120 more damage.
Aura Star	1 Fighting + 1 Colorless	2	70×	35	This attack does 70 damage for each Energy attached to all of your opponent's Pokémon. (You can't use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.)

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

What each 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.

Fighting Knuckle 3 Energy120 damage for 3 Energy — 40 per Energy card120
Aura Star 2 Energy70 damage for 2 Energy — 35 per Energy card70

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (120).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Fighting Knuckle is printed as 120+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.
Aura Star is printed as 70×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 120 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Is Lucario VSTAR SWSH214 strong for a VSTAR card?

VSTAR cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

What does being a Fighting card do for Lucario VSTAR SWSH214?

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

70 prints carry this name in the archive, and 55 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (340 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Which rules apply to Lucario VSTAR SWSH214, 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.

The rule printed on this card

“VSTAR rule: When your Pokémon VSTAR is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Every knockout carries the opponent 2 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

Lucario VSTAR SWSH214 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, Fighting Knuckle, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 40 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 — Lucario V has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 611 of 17,290

Fighting cardsNo. 50 of 1,884

VSTAR cardsNo. 38 of 94

SWSH Black Star PromosNo. 45 of 292

What actually removes it

A Psychic attack printed at 135 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 270 HP.
132 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 3,275 cards in one attack.

Lucario VSTAR SWSH214 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Lucario VSTAR SWSH214?

Lucario VSTAR SWSH214 has 270 HP and a Psychic weakness at ×2, so a Psychic attack printed at 135 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 270.

What is the strongest attack on Lucario VSTAR SWSH214?

Fighting Knuckle, printed at 120 damage for 3 Energy — 40 damage per Energy card. If your opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon V, this attack does 120 more damage.

What is the retreat cost of Lucario VSTAR SWSH214?

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 Fighting Knuckle 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 — "If your opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon V, this attack does 120 more damage."

Can an older Lucario print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 55 prints listed on this page, 15 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 VSTAR evolve from?

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

Can Lucario VSTAR SWSH214 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.

What does the rule on Lucario VSTAR SWSH214 mean?

The card reads “VSTAR rule: When your Pokémon VSTAR is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Lucario VSTAR SWSH214 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.
