'''Luxio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルクシオ''' ''Luxio'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shinx}} starting at [[level]] 15, and evolves into {{p|Luxray}} starting at level 30.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Luxio is sometimes referred to as looking like a young lion. It has a black mane around its face, unlike its pre-evolution, {{p|Shinx}}. It also has two yellow rings around each of its front legs, whereas Shinx only has one around each. <br />
====Gender differences====<br />
The tufts of hair in a male Luxio's mane are longer than those of the female. Similar to Shinx, the portions of blue on a Luxio's hind legs are longer for females.<br />
<br />
====Special abilities====<br />
<br />
As Electric-type Pokémon, Luxio are capable of using moves such as Charge and Spark.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Luxio communicate among each other using {{wp|Electroreception|electrical pulses from their claws}}. They live in small groups. <br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
<br />
In the wild, Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray generally hunt for food.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Luxio anime.png|200px|thumb|Luxio in the anime]]<br />
===Major appearances===<br />
Luxio appeared in the movie ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It was among the Pokémon in the garden. Luxio seemed to be shy, as it hesitated before it ran to Ash and his friends' Pokémon. It participated in the short-lived massive fight.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', a Luxio helped a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in the sewers and the {{p|Wailmer}} made it back into the ocean safely and evolved into a {{p|Wailord}}.<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
It also made a brief cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.<br />
<br />
Another Luxio appeared in ''[[DP149|Sticking With Who You Know!]]''.<br />
<br />
===Pokédex entries===<br />
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}<br />
{{Animedexbody|DP109|Luxio|Ash's Pokédex|Luxio, the Spark Pokémon. By touching friends with its front paws, Luxio is able to communicate through the {{m|Spark|sparks}} it emits.}} <br />
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
{{adv|Platinum}} was attacked by a wild Luxio; the Luxio had broken its claws and could no longer communicate with its pack. To regain its "touch," it defeated both [[Tru]] and {{DL|Diamond (Adventures)|Lax}}, but then decided that it should also fight {{adv|Pearl}}'s Pokémon. Afterwards, Pearl helps it regain its comrades' trust, and it leaves happily.<br />
<br />
The same Luxio made a few appearances afterwards as a Luxray before it joined Pearl's team and was dubbed [[Rayhiko]].<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Luxio (TCG)}}<br />
