Luxray (Japanese: レントラー Rentorar) is an Template:Type2 Pokémon.

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

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.

Diet

Trivia

• Luxray is one of only two second stage Template:Type2 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 Template:Type2 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.
• 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.

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.

In other languages

• German: Luxtra - From lux and Strahl (beam).
• French: Luxray
• Korean: 렌트라 Renteura
