Regidrago VSTAR

Legacy Star is an ability, not a GX move

People searching “VSTAR versus GX” want to know if the once-per-game rule moved houses. It did, partly. A GX attack is always an attack, and you get one per game. A VSTAR Power can be an ability. Legacy Star is that case: it is not an attack, it still happens once, and the VSTAR rule still gives the opponent two prizes when this Pokémon is knocked out. Tapu Lele-GX’s GX attack is the contrast I use, because that one is an attack with the same once-per-game shape. Knocking out either card is still two prizes. Calling VSTAR “a stronger GX” erases the ability-versus-attack difference, so I will not use that phrase.

Apex Dragon is why the discard pile becomes a menu. Published Expanded lists copy attacks from Dragon-type Pokémon, such as Dragapult ex’s Phantom Dive, Kyurem’s Trifrost, Mega Dragonite ex’s Ryuno Glide, and Dialga-GX’s Timeless GX. Those names come from strategy write-ups of the archetype, not from a promise that every copy is legal in every room. The card’s own text is the permission: choose an attack from a Dragon-type Pokémon in the discard and use it.
