Luxio (Japanese: ルクシオ Luxio) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

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

Biology

Luxio is a feline, quadrupedal Pokémon resembling a young lynx or lion. Blue and black fur cover most of its body. Its ears, face, hind paws, and front half of its body are blue, while its hindquarters are black. Additionally, Luxio has a tufty black mane surrounding its face. The mane is longer on the male Luxio, while the blue coloration on the hind paws extends to the ankles on the female. The insides of its rounded ears are yellow, as are its eyes. There are two yellow rings around each front leg and a yellow, four-point star on the tip of its tail.

When facing an opponent, Luxio extends its claws in preparation, which can unleash 1,000,000 volts of electricity. Even a slight scratch from these claws is enough to cause fainting. Besides for attacking, Luxio also uses its claws to communicate with others of its kind, by resting them on the others' forelegs and sending electrical pulses through them. Luxio live in small groups and are able to generate powerful electricity by gathering the group's tails together. Luxio are known to be kind enough to share the spoils from a hunt to its own kind.

Trivia

• Luxio is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 363.
• The official Japanese Pokémon website (Pokémon.co.jp) has a picture of Luxio on its HTTP 404 error page. This may allude to Luxio's National Pokédex number, 0404.

Origin

Luxio appears to be based on an adolescent lynx or a male lion. It may have also been inspired by the mythical sphinx, as its short face, human-like ears, and cat-like appearance are similar. It may have also been inspired by the constellations Lynx pr Leo, due to Luxio's cat-like appearance and the fact that it bears a signature star shape on the end of its tail. Additionally, the Lynx constellation got its name from the fact that only the lynx-eyed, that is people with very good sight, could see it, alluding to supernatural sight of lynxes.

Name origin

Luxio may be a combination of lux (Latin for light), lynx, and lion or leo (Latin for lion). Incidentally, the Karnak temple complex in Luxor, Egypt has a famous avenue of sphinxes.
