The strategy involved in LuxApe is to switch the opponent's Defending Pokémon and type-trump it, as mentioned above. Both of the Pokémon's LV.X Poké-POWERs, Infernape's Intimidating Roar and Luxray's Bright Look, involve switching the opponent's Defending Pokémon. Both have strong attacks that can hit with little energy needed. Also, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL LV.X|109}} covers {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Infernape 4 LV.X|108}}'s weakness to {{ct|Water}}s. | The strategy involved in LuxApe is to switch the opponent's Defending Pokémon and type-trump it, as mentioned above.
