Luxio (Japanese: ルクシオ Luxio) is an Electric-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Shinx starting at level 15 and evolves into Luxray starting at level 30.

Biology

Luxio is a feline Pokémon resembling a young lynx or lion. Its fur is mainly blue, with a black mane around its face and black hind legs with blue hind paws. The mane is longer on a male Luxio, while the blue portion of its hind legs are longer on a female Luxio. It has blue elliptical ears with yellow insides. Its front legs have two yellow rings each. Its tail has a four-point star at the tip. It communicates with other Luxio using electrical pulses from its claws. It lives in plains and various grassy areas and is usually seen in a small group. In the wild, it generally hunts for food.

Major appearances

Luxio first appeared in the movie 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.

In Leading a Stray!, a Luxio helped a Wailmer that was trapped in the sewers and the Wailmer made it back into the ocean safely and evolved into a Wailord.

Minor appearances

It also made a brief cameo at the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Another Luxio appeared in Sticking With Who You Know!.

In the manga

Luxio in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Rayler

A wild Luxio attacked Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum on their journey. Due to its broken claws, the Luxio was unable to communicate with its group and was shunned by them. In an attempt to regain its group's favor, it battled with Diamond's Pokémon. Pearl eventually managed to get its comrades' trust and befriended the Luxio. Later, it evolved into a Luxray and joined Pearl's team after being named Rayler.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Hareta's Shinx evolved into Luxio after defeating B-2 on Iron Island. Its Trainer attempted to use it against Cyrus's Gyarados at Lake Valor, but it was instead ambushed by Saturn's Rhyperior, who had been revived after being knocked out. Later, it evolved into Luxray during Hareta's Pokémon League battle with Koya.
