Luxray (Japanese: レントラー, HepburnRentoraa) (LUCKS-ray[1]) is an Electric-type Pokémon that was introduced in Generation IV.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Luxray resembles a fully-grown lion with a black and blue coat and a spiked mane. Black fur covers most of its body except the backs of its legs, midsection and some of its face. It has light-blue legs with three yellow rings on the front legs. On its rear is a spiked tuft of fur. Its tail ends in a golden star. It has red scleras and golden irises and pupils.

Behavior[]

With eyes that glow in the dark, Luxray possesses the innate ability to see through solid surfaces; this allows it to easily track down its lost young or prey as well as detecting danger nearby. But doing so can drain a lot of its energies, thus it spends most of its time sleeping to recharge itself. When their families are threatened, Luxray will attack back ferociously with the powerful Thunder Fang.

One pride can hold as many as half a dozen Luxray, each with varying levels of dominance. The leader Luxray can be either of either gender, with their mates being second-in-command. The remaining Luxray are ranked based on their strength, challenging each other in battle to determine placement. This order determines who eats first at meals, leads the pack during prowls, and other aspects of life as well. Challenging leaders has the highest stakes of them all; losers are exiled from their prides, forced to start new ones on their own. A Luxray's primary job in its pride is to care for offspring and defend the family. They will also occasionally aid in hunts to take down larger foes.

Despite being a Sinnoh Pokémon, a lot of them mostly live in Kalos, especially in Lumiose City. Some also reside in the Isle of Armor.

Gender differences[]

Males have bigger manes than the females.

Natural abilities[]

Luxray's sight is so good, they can see through objects as if they have X-Ray vision.

Evolution[]

Luxray evolves from Luxio as of level 30. Luxray is the final evolution of Shinx.

Appearances[]

Anime[]

Clemont Luxray

Clemont's Luxray.

Luxray had a few appearances in The Rise of Darkrai, as one of the Pokémon playing in the garden.

Marble owns a Luxray as her partner. Sadly, it had lost its ability to use electric attacks right after it evolved. Marble's Luxray tried to stop a criminal, but Officer Jenny's Arcanine took care of the criminal when Luxray failed. Marble was about to pet Luxray to calm him down, but Luxray growled at her and ran off. But later, Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Luxray, and it regained its ability to use electric attacks.

The Gym Leader, Volkner has a Luxray that helped restore power. Later on, during Ash's final gym battle, it defeated Pikachu. However, it lost to Infernape after it activated Blaze.

Clemont also owns a Luxray after it evolved from a Luxio.

Manga[]

In the Pokémon Adventures Manga, Pearl owns a Luxray.

Trivia[]

  • Luxray has a very similar color scheme to Lucario.
  • The only part of it that stays the same in Luxray's evolutionary line (besides fur color) is its tail.

Origin[]

Due to its slightly human-like features on its head (namely its face and ears) and lion-like appearance, Luxray may be based on the Egyptian sphinx. The yellow and blue coloration on its legs could be based on the yellow and blue coloration of the head-dresses pharaohs wore. The star at the end of its tail is a reference to the constellation Leo. Similar to real-life lions, Luxray live together in groups usually led by a single male.

Etymology[]

Luxray is a combination of lux (Latin for "light") and x-ray. It may also derive from Luxor (a city in Egypt with several sphinx statues, as well as a hotel and casino in Las Vegas (known for its bright city lights and high usage of electricity) with an Egyptian theme, including a sphinx statue in the front) and lynx.

Its Japanese name, Rentorā may come from レントゲン (rentogen, Japanese for "x-ray," from Wilhelm Röntgen, the discoverer of x-rays), Ra (the Egyptian god of the sun), 虎 (tora, Japanese for "tiger"), and rawr (a roaring sound).
