LuxApe has no designated starter Pokémon. Generally, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL|9}} and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Infernape 4|43}} both provide fine starts, so as to allow for quicker attacking and leveling up, and any poor start can be remedied through either {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}} or {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}. The LuxApe player begins taking prizes as soon as possible through attacks such as Infernape 4's ''Split Bomb'', Luxray GL's ''Trash Bolt'', and, when possible, the attacks of their respective LV.Xs. While attacking, {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}, {{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}, and various other searching and drawing cards are used to stockpile {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}s, {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}}s, and other situational resources in the player's hand. | LuxApe has no designated starter Pokémon.
