08Competitive Playability
Tier: Niche
Level-Up Lucario with 110 HP; top attack near 80 damage — playable in casual or rogue lists, not a competitive staple.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Stance
Once during your turn (before your attack), when you put Lucario LV.X from your hand onto your Active Lucario, you may use this power. Prevent all effects of an attack, including damage, done to Lucario during your opponent's next turn. (If Lucario is no longer your Active Pokémon, this effect ends.)
Close Combat
During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Lucario by attacks is increased by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.
Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.
Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
