Hi everyone. Welcome to another Pokémon of the Week. Today we’re
reviewing Luxray, the gleam eyes Pokémon.
Luxray is an electric physical sweeper. That’s new isn’t it? If
you are like me, you trained one early on your game just because
Shinx was a good Pokémon to have. Luxray has a pretty good
attack, but it has a pretty bad speed for a sweeper and doesn’t
have good defenses either. So this one needs a little experience
to be trained and used properly.
Both abilities are good. Intimidate is capable of forcing
switches and Rivalry is pretty good if you have the correct
gender and work on your speed EV’s.
Let’s move on to the move combinations, let’s see what’s up with
this guy…
Use howl until Salac berry activates (hopefully it will
activate). You are covering almost every type on the game with
your elemental fangs. It’s risky, but if you manage to make it
work, it will be pretty good.
One of the new hit and run sets. It’s pretty easy to use. Just
remember the main rule; use it early on battle and switch every
time.
When should I use this Pokémon?
I can’t really tell you this is a good Pokémon. I mean, it’s not
that bad, but it should be faster or at least have more
defenses. It is a decent sweeper, but if you really want an
electric physical sweeper, use Electivire.
What should I use against this Pokémon?
Physycal tanks will work well. Fast earthquake users as Dugtrio
will take it out easily.
Bottom line:
Decent, but not the best…
Remember, if you have DP versions and want to trade or battle
with me. I already have a list of haves and wants here in the
Pojo Forums; the URL is http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=448891
for trading (have some good shinies and legendaries). If you
want to battle then send me a PM or send an e-mail to reeve.ryu@gmail.com.

Man, I thought I would be
reviewing something that looked like a sphinx just
because its base stage is Shinx. Oh well.
Here the ability really kicks in because the different 2 are
good in their
own ways.
Intimidate lowers the opponents Atk when this comes out but
Rivalry
increases the Atk if the opponent has the same gender which is
good so I say
stick with Rivalry.
Nature is to get the Atk up but lower Def. But all Electric
pokemons have
had problems with the Def so we will stick with it.
Bright Powder is to get that little peace of extra surviving.
You are gonna
love it when you can take out that big thing just because they
where unlucky
to miss with their strongest attack.
The good thing with Electric types are that they only have 1
weakness and
its Ground.
Strategy?
Thunder Fang to attack the watery fiends. 10% to either Flinch
or to
Paralyze. Pretty good infact.
Facade if the enemy puts a status on you. Then after that Rest
and Sleep
Talk while sleeping.
Is it a luxury ray or what? Please tell me.
The name is strange infact.
But this one cant learn much good attacks but this move set will
make it
playable.

Still waiting for D/P to be released. Anyone that also want
Fione now can
just contact me as soon as I can get the Ditto over to it when I
get D/P.

Hello, all, and I hope you are
well. This week, we have Luxray, the Egyptian
Shock-Lion-Cat-Thing!
Luxray
Electric/ReallywantstobeDark
Ability(s): Intimidate (Upon Luxray's Entry in Battle, all
opponent's Attacks are lowered) Rivalry (If the opponent is of
the same gender as Luxray, then Luxray's Attack rises) Base
Stats:
HP: 80
Atk: 120
Def: 79
SpAtk: 95
SpDef: 79
Spd: 70
So we see high Atk, near-high SpAtk, and meh stats everywhere
else.
But the real badness is in the move pool. Let's see if I can get
together a moveset or too!
I like Quick Attack over Fang, and Roar over TW. Meh, nothing to
say, other than Thunderbolt will do more than Spark in almost
all curcumstances (I think... I haven't done the calcs in a
while). The spread is also meh.
I can't bring myself to make another set. This thing is just not
very good. It will see some use, but not much.
Overall: 1.5/5
Looks: 3/5
All for now, peeps.
