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.

Biology

Physiology

Luxray's appearance is based on that of a fully-grown lion. It has three gold-colored rings on the backs of its legs, similar to Luxio (which has two) and Shinx (which has one) and has eyes with golden pupils and irises and red scleras. Luxray has a blue body partly covered with a spiky black mane from its head to its front legs and parts of its back legs. It has a long, thin black tail with a gold four-pointed star shape on the tip.

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 and walls, like x-ray vision. Their electricity is also very reactive, and will flare uncontrollably when angered.

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. They tend to be stubborn and can administer extreme amounts of power through their electricity. Because of their flawless x-ray like vision, practically nothing can go unseen by their eyes. 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. While generally independent, Luxray may band together in large groups and look out for one another in the wild.

Habitat

It lives in plains and various grassy areas. This may relate to how it is based on a lion.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the wild, Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray generally hunt for food.

Major appearances

Luxray first appeared 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. However, Alice played Oración, allowing it and the other affected Pokémon to sleep peacefully.

Marble owns a Luxray, appearing in Luxray Vision!.

Another Luxray appeared in The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore! under the ownership of Volkner. It also appeared in The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World! where it was used in the Gym battle against Ash.

Minor appearances

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!.

Another Luxray got a cameo in An Old Family Blend!, under the ownership of Jeffrey.

A photograph of a Luxray appeared in The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!.

In Pokémon Adventures, 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 that 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, and after defeating the Houndoom that was trying to burn them alive, joined him as his third Pokémon, now named Rayler.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Hareta's Luxio evolved into Luxray during his Pokémon League battle with Koya.

Trivia

  •  Luxray is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 523.

Origin

Luxray is based on an adult male lion, or possibly the constellation Leo, due to the fact that it resembles a lion and bears a star shape on the end of its tail. In addition, in European mythology, the lynx was said to have the supernatural power to see through solid objects, much like Luxray.

Name origin

Luxray is derived from lux (a measure of brightness) and x-ray (referring to its x-ray vision).

Rentorar may be a combination of lens and 虎 tora (tiger).
