Luxio is the evolved form of Shinx and an Electric-type Pokemon. It builds on Shinx’s physical attacking style and evolves into Luxray at Level 30.
Competitive Overview
Luxio is generally a mid-game attacker rather than a top competitive Pokemon, but it benefits from Intimidate, solid Attack and access to Electric and Dark coverage. It is most useful as a bridge between Shinx and Luxray.
Luxio’s biggest strengths are its physical Electric moves, helpful ability options and evolution into Luxray. Its main weakness is that it is still outclassed by stronger fully evolved Electric-types until it evolves.
