Luxray (Japanese: レントラー Rentorar) is an Electric-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Luxio starting at level 30. It is the final form of Shinx.

Contents

Biology

Physiology

Its appearance is based on that of a fully-grown lion. It has three rings on the backs of its legs, similar to Luxio (which has two) and Shinx (which has one) and has red eyes.

Gender differences

The female has a shorter mane than the male.

Special abilities

Luxray have extraordinary eyesight. It is so powerful that they can see through most objects, like x-ray vision.

Behavior

Luxray are extremely vicious and predatorial, although when tamed and trained correctly they can become very loyal and faithful, protecting their trainer from danger. Abusing a Luxray can cause it to become antagonistic and vengeful towards their trainer. Luxray need a lot of compassion and praise to maintain their satisfaction, as they are proud creatures.

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the wild, Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray generally hunt for food. Evidence of this is plainly given in Luxray's Pokédex entry: "It spots and captures prey hiding behind objects."

In the anime

Marble's Luxray and Ash's Pikachu

A Luxray made an appearance in The Rise of Darkrai. During Alice's flashback, Alicia was running up a hill to the garden. She saw Luxray fire a Hyper Beam upon Darkrai, but Darkrai retaliated with a Dark Void, trapping Luxray into a nightmare.

Marble owns a Luxray, appearing in Luxray Vision!.

A Luxray is used by one of the students of Pokémon Summer Academy in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Mars used her Luxray to steal energy from Valley Windworks. In the graphic novel releases, however, Electivire assumes this role.

Later, when the trio are traveling through Mt. Coronet, a Luxray evolved from a Luxio they had helped earlier in their journey saved Pearl and Platinum after they were trapped by a rock slide. This same Luxray later appeared to Pearl as he was traveling to Lake Valor.

In the Arceus To a Conquering Space Time manga, Damos owns a Luxray.

Trivia

  • Luxray is one of only two second stage Electric-type Pokémon that was released in the same generation as its evolutionary relatives, the other being Ampharos.
  • Unlike most Electric-types, Luxray has Speed as its lowest stat. It shares this trait with Ampharos and Magnezone.
  • Luxray has the second highest Attack stat out of all the Electric-type Pokémon. It is second only to Electivire.
  • Even though it is shown attacking with its claws in the anime, it couldn't learn Scratch or any other claw-based moves until Pokémon Platinum, where a move tutor can teach it Fury Cutter.

Origin

Luxray is based on an adult male lion.

Name origin

Luxray is derived from lux, a measure of brightness, and x-ray, referring to its x-ray eyes. Its Japanese name is a combination of Roentgen, the physicist who discovered X-rays, and 虎 tora, tiger.
