Attacker

Strategy & play

How Lunatone plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Not a main attacker — its job is card selection. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
  • Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Fighting type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
  • Seen in 6% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 2 copies.

How to beat Lunatone

  • Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
  • KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
  • Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Lunatone is real?

Lunatone is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
