Luxray (Japanese: レントラー Rentoraa) is a Electric-type Pokémon that was introduced in Generation IV.

Appearance

Luxray is based on a full-grown lion with a blue coat and a black, spiked mane. Black fur covers most of its body except the backs of it legs, midsection and some of its face. It has light-blue legs with three yellow rings on the backs. On its rear is a spiked tuft of fur. Its tail ends in a golden star, similar to that of the constellation Leo the Lion. It has red scleras and yellow eyes.

Special Abilities

Luxray has the abilities Intimidate which halves the opponents attack when Luxray has just come out or an opponent switches a Pokémon or when it's the start of a battle. It can also possess Rivalry, which doubles Luxray's Attack when the opponent is the same gender, and halves Luxray's Attack if it is the opposite gender.

Trivia

  • Luxray has a very similar color scheme to Lucario.
  • Luxray is based on Leo the Lion because of the "star" on its tail and that it resembles a full grown lion.
  • Luxray is a combination of "Lux", a measure of brightness, and "X-Ray" because of its eyesight.
  • The only part of it that stays the same in Luxray's evolutionary line (besides fur color) is it's tail.
