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. Luxray has a spiky black mane that covers its head down to its legs. Its back legs are black and blue and it has a black tail with a star-like 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, 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. 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
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food

However, Alice played Oración, allowing it and the other effected Pokémon to sleep peacefully.

In the manga
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 Rayhiko.
In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga, Damos owns a Luxray.

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 Röntgen, the physicist who discovered X-rays, and 虎 tora, tiger.
