# Luxray (Japanese) #028 — S12: Paradigm Trigger

## Summary

Luxray crouches on this Japanese uncommon with its fur bristling and electricity crackling against a dark, stormy forest, a bright yellow frame setting off the blue-black coat. Paradigm Trigger carried it in Japan in October 2022, ahead of the English Luxray in Crown Zenith in January 2023. As an uncommon it sits in the middle of the pack, and fans of the Sinnoh lightning lion are the reason it gets a second look. A $0.30 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
