Blood Rogue was busy. Now, today's Pokemon is Luxio. We all know him, particularly because we all used him for the E4 Battle (Because it was either him, the squirrel, or the fat-ass Uberchu). He may not be evolved, but at least he can try.  #404 - Luxio Type - Electric Spark Pokemon Height - 2'11" Weight - 67.2 lbs. Abilities: Intimidate - Halves enemies Attack stat Rivalry - Increases Attack when opponent is of the same gender Evolution Chain Evolves from Shinx at Level 15 Evolves to Luxray at Level 30 Availability: Diamond, Pearl Wild Luxio can be found in the grass of the Fuego Ironworks. Shinx can be caught there too, as well as in Route 202. Moveset: Item: Bright Powder Trait: Intimidate/Rivalry Stats: HP: 324 Attack: 269 Defense: 197 Special Attack: 219 Special Defense: 197 Speed: 219 Charge Thunder Fang Ice Fang Scary Face Ok. One look at Luxio tells you that he's not the greatest thing in the world. His defenses are awful, and his Speed, which is what Electric Pokemon thrive on, is pretty low compared to his kin (Electrode, Raichu, Rotom, etc.). Of course, his Attack Stat is higher than a good deal of Electrics, so he's capable of some power. Charge is here for the sole purpose of helping Thunder Fang. Charge will power up Luxio's electric moves, while simultaneously increasing his Special Defense. This would be good, if his main weakness, Earthquake, wasn't a Physical Attack. If anything, it can help if your opponent switches. Thunder Fang is fun. It's basically Thunderbolt for a Physical Pokemon. With STAB, Luxio's Attack, and Charge, this attack can cripple any Water or Flying type that stands in his way (minus Gliscor and those Water/Ground types). Ice Fang is the trump card in Luxio's set. This is to be used when you think that the opponent is going to send in his Ground type. Ground Pokemon are slow, so if you hit it when it comes in, you can basically get two hits in, and that will kill the Ground Pokemon. Scary Face is here to help Luxio's dismal Speed stat. I seriously don't think that Luxio can survive long enough to benefit from Scary Face. If he can live, however, it will help him greatly, as well as his teammates. Bright Powder is like a godsend for Luxio. As said above, Luxio's defenses are crap, and he needs all the help he can get to survive. When he becomes a Luxray, this should be easier, but until then, he needs help. Either of Luxio's traits can help in battle, but they need to come into play at the right time. Intimidate is good if your opponent is a Physical Sweeper. Rivalry helps if your opponent has a low defense and the same gender. Ok, we're done. Join me tomorrow for another Pokemon Of The Day! |
