Luxray can see through solid objects. It will instantly spot prey trying to hide behind walls, even if the walls are thick.

透視能力をもつポケモン。厚い壁の向こうに隠れる獲物をたちまち見つけだす。

For the "Explosiveness" Ability:

When setting up to play, if the player's starting hand of 7 cards has Luxray with the "Explosiveness" Ability and no Basic Pokémon, that player may choose to use Luxray's "Explosiveness" Ability to set it up as their Active Pokémon.^[1]^[2]
- On the same note, since the player technically has no Basic Pokémon in their starting hand, they may choose to take a mulligan instead (shuffling their hand back into their deck and drawing a new starting hand, repeating until they have a Basic Pokémon in their starting hand).^[1]^[2]
- Note that players can't build their deck with only Pokémon that have the "Explosiveness" Ability; the deck still needs to include at least 1 Basic Pokémon (cf. Talonflame's "Gale Wings" Ability).^[3]
Consider the situation where a player sets up their Active Pokémon while their opponent takes a mulligan; the player may draw a card for each time the opponent does so. If the player draws into a Pokémon with the "Explosiveness" Ability from this, that player may not set it up as their Active Pokémon or replace the Active Pokémon that was already set up.^[1]
