Rayler (Japanese: トラヒコ Torahiko), known as Rayhiko in Chuang Yi's translation, was the third Pokémon to be obtained by Pearl in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

History

Diamond & Pearl arc

As a Luxio

Rayler first appears as a wild Luxio in Extreme Luxio, where he was a member of a pack of wild Luxio and Shinx. However his claws were broken and because of it, Luxio could not communicate with his pack members, causing them to shun it. In a desperate attempt to get them to acknowledge him, he kidnapped Platinum and her Piplup so that he could challenge Pearl and Diamond. He first fought Diamond's Lax and Tru and easily beat them due to their slow speed. After beating them his pack still refused to accept him and he began to attack Pearl's team. During his fight against them Pearl noticed his broken claws and quickly came up with a way for him to communicate with his pack, using his comedy Duo act as the base. Being able to communicate with his pack again, he thanked the group and left.

He reappeared as a Luxray in Passing by Probopass and Maneuvering around Magnezone, where he helped Diamond rescue Pearl and Platinum, after Cyrus attacked them while they were passing through Mt. Coronet for "defiling" the site of his Pokémon's evolutions. He used his X-ray vision to save one of his pack members, a Shinx. HE left again with his pack after helping save Pearl and Platinum.

He returns once again in Maddening Magby, where he encountered Pearl at the Fuego Ironworks on his adventure to protect Lake Valor from Team Galactic, where he was revealed to have become the leader of the pack. As Pearl was about to enter Luxray dragged him over to a different opening and entered with him, using his X-ray vision to find the trapped Mr. Fuego. After finding him Pearl accidentally steps on a conveyor belt heading straight to a furnace. Luxray quickly jumps into action and saved Pearl, getting his back burned it the process. Pearl then asks Luxray to carry him to Mr. Fuego due to his ability to see all the conveyor belts, to which Luxray accepts. The two are soon spotted by a Houndoom who chases them throughout the building. While fleeing Pearl tells Luxray when to dodge as he focuses on their destination, though he is hit in the process. Once they arrived Luxray turned around and retaliated with Shock Wave, knocking Houndoom out. After leaving he decided to join Pearl on his journey, becoming his third Pokémon.

In Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI, Rayler was used alongside the other Pokémon to battle against the Legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. With the help of Diamond and Pearl's Pokémon and with a combined technique, they were all able to destroy the Red Chains controlling them.

Platinum arc

In The Final Dimensional Duel IV, Pearl intended to use Rayler alongside the rest of his team to fight Charon and his Heatran but Reg showed up with Rotom's appliances, allowing it to defeat him.

Personality and characteristics

Rayler is a proud and noble Pokémon and is very dedicated to his pack. He is stoic, serious, focused, and has a high level of commitment, refusing to back out of something he has started. He cares greatly for others and will jump straight into danger without a second thought in order to save someone.
