Tag: Luxray

Hi! I’m alittle worried about my partner Sunlight. She’s a Luxray that I’ve taken care of and raised since she was a tiny lil shinx. I still don’t know what happened to her parents. Anyway, we just came back from a long hike in Mt. Silver and she’s been acting very odd. She’s become overly protective and she’s been stealing all of the blankets in the house. Along with that, she’s also super picky when it comes to food, and normally she eats almost anything, exept for blue gummis (part 1)

Actually, these sound like classic nesting behaviors. Several pokémon native to the Mt. Silver range are capable of breeding with luxray, including absol (a rare find, but nonetheless), as well as ursaring and donphan. Even if you only lost sight of Sunlight for a day, that could be enough time for her to meet and, well, mate.

Keep an eye on Sunlight for the next few days. If she begins eating more than usual, you may be expecting an egg or two soon. The next step would be to follow her to find out where her nest is and to see if there is an egg to be concerned about, and if so, the step after that would be to convince Sunlight to let you help her (as opposed to electrocuting you on sight if you’re anywhere near her nest, which tends to also be classic luxray nesting behavior.)

Best of luck!

Hi there, Bill! I have a quick question. My Ampilus is the sweetest Luxray you’ll ever meet, but he’s been lonely since I had to trade away my Infernape. Any suggestions for a good companion for him? (We do battle for fun on occasion, but we mostly just like to go on long bike rides.)

Well, that depends. If you’re looking for a pokémon who can keep up with the both of you while running, pokémon such as decidueye or mightyena might keep up with your luxray, while galvantula’s speed may be comparable to your old infernape’s.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a pokémon that can provide great companionship to your luxray, mightyena is still an excellent choice that often gets along well with members of the shinx line (despite being canine in nature). Alternatively, your luxray may get along well with samurott (whose general temperament blends well with luxray, despite the fact that samurott is elementally weak to them), stoutland, liepard, zoroark, midday lycanroc, meowstic, zebstrika (if you don’t mind two electric-types following you), and pyroar. Especially pyroar, actually, and on that note, only consider pyroar if you intend on getting a male or if you have no qualms about taking care of kittens.

Alternatively, you could also consider getting a jolteon, seeing as they’re also part of luxray’s egg group.

Bill. What I said earlier wasn’t a challenge. —LH

And? —Bill

My wife and I had triplets not to long ago. We were finally able to get a family portrait together after hours of the photographer trying to get everyone in place and trying us trying to get our Pokemon to cooperate (along with our dog too!). Should we be worried about any of our Pokemon and the triplets as far as our Pokemon getting along with the new additions? Do you see any concerns here? So far Luxray seems to be the most protective of our bunch. Thoughts?

Bill: First and foremost, congratulations! You look like a wonderful family.

That said, though, my only concern is with your muk, rather than your luxray. Your luxray is displaying normal behavior around new additions, so I would only worry about it if it’s aggressive towards you whenever you try to take the children back.

Your muk, on the other hand, is a different story due to the fact that its body naturally harbors a wide variety of microfauna—or, in other words, potentially harmful bacteria and viruses. Newborns should be kept away from muk until you’ve started on their vaccination schedule at the very least (although really, preferably until their immune systems further develop), even if muk is eager to help.

Other than that, at first glance, it seems like the rest of your pokémon family don’t mind the presence of your children at all, which is a good sign. If that’s the case, then they likely understand how to regulate their power around the babies, meaning they’re docile enough to handle them without issue.

Best of luck to your family!

I have have luxio and want him to be a luxray but is true that they can see throught just about anything, he is slightly perevted to other people so when he evolves would cause trouble for me? if so how can I stop him from doing so?

It is indeed true, anonymous, but luckily, there are solutions. For example, many trainers have their luxray wear choice bands wrapped around their heads to cover their eyes.

Of course, luxray can still see through these bands; the measure is really more so that other people can’t tell what luxray is looking at.

On a serious note, it’s difficult to say whether or not this will cause any problems when your luxio evolves. It really depends on his personality as a luxray and how perverted he actually is. You could potentially train him not to stare at inappropriate things by way of positive reinforcement (giving him treats and the like whenever he resists staring, for example), but if he happens to be a particular nuisance, then it may be better to train him to resist acting on urges that stem from what he sees … and apply a choice band at the same time.

I have some issues with my male luxray, I use to let him sleep with me on the bed all the time but now I kicked him off for he got a little too “close” if you catch my meaning, now he mean to me and others around him. What do I do fix this?

Well, one option is having him neutered if he isn’t already. This usually resolves issues involving a feline pokémon’s … friendliness towards others. The alternative option would be to get him a suitable mate in order to satisfy his need for physical contact. A female luxio or luxray is usually ideal, but if finding another member of his family in your region is highly difficult, consider a more common pokémon, such as a member of the rattata, patrat, or zigzagoon families.

Alternatively, try letting your luxray down gently. Tell him that you still love him as your pet but that you need space. Get him a comfortable bed and a nice-sized pillow for him to wrap his paws around and train him to stay in his bed, rather than yours.

The key, in other words, is understanding that your luxray may be experiencing a dire need for something to cling to at night, and he expresses his frustration with that unfulfilled need by lashing out at those around him. If you can find a way to satisfy that need—either by replacing yourself with a mate, neutering him, or giving him a comfortable sleeping space—then your luxray will be a bit calmer towards you and the rest of your team.

As a Shinx and Luxio, my Pokémon could sleep in my lap and on my bed relatively well (he’s was a big luxio) but as a Luxray kind of crushes me. I don’t want to hurt his feelings by telling him he can’t lay on me anymore but I fear for my body if this keeps up. Please help!

Certainly, anonymous.

Your first step is to find a pokémon bed that would be comfortable for him. Given how he likes to drape himself on you, he may prefer a firmer bed with plenty of comforters and blankets to simulate your warmth. You may even wish to give him a body pillow if he finds comfort in snuggling up to something your size and shape. (Yes, really, anonymous.)

Once you set this bed up (preferably in a corner somewhere or in a place that your luxray can feel enclosed within—hiding in such a corner makes feline pokémon feel protected), you’ll need to employ a little reinforcement. Every time he goes over to his bed or lays down in it, give him a treat, a toy, or some form of affection. Conversely, any time he tries to climb into bed with you, try to get up and out of it again, then show him where his bed is without scolding him. Feed him a treat if he follows you (or pet him if it’s close to the time when the two of you are meant to go to sleep).

In other words, you don’t necessarily have to tell him in a straightforward manner, anonymous. Rather, give him a place where he would enjoy resting and train him to sleep or lie there instead.

You can also employ these methods during the day to keep him from crawling into your lap. If he tries, get up if you can or block him from doing so. If, however, he merely sits down on the floor next to you, reward him with affection or a treat. This way, he begins to associate sitting on the floor (and not your lap) with something good, which means he’ll be far more likely to do it than attempt to crawl over you again.

Best of luck, anonymous!

I have (or rather, had) two Luxio – a male and a female – and the male just recently evolved into Luxray. The two have been mates for years, since they were Shinx, but since the evolution, Luxio seems to be rejecting Luxray. Though physically he has changed, he is acting no different than he used to and is still interested in Luxio, however, she doesn’t appear to want anything to do with him with is upsetting us both. Why is this happening?

While not a perfect equivalence, think of evolutionary stages like human stages of life. The most basic stage is usually a pokémon’s childhood, the middle stage is adolescence, and the final stage is adulthood. Now, granted, this isn’t a literal comparison. Pokémon in their final stages never see mating with basic-stage forms as the same thing as pedophilia, and breeders generally don’t, either. But in some cases, pokémon understand that there is some difference between their form and another form, even if that difference is vague and difficult for the pokémon themselves to define.

That having been said, it’s very likely that your luxio has been put off your luxray because there is a bit of a physical difference. Your luxray is about as mature as he will ever get, and thus, his body chemistry is slightly different. Perhaps his maturity is too, and neither you nor he can perceive that. Your luxio, meanwhile, does see a difference and may be experiencing uneasiness towards your luxray or even jealousy over his evolution.

At this point, it’s important to establish communication with your luxio to determine which it might be. Ask your luxray to wait in another room or as far from your luxio as possible, then sit down with your luxio and ask her what’s on her mind. If she looks agitated or restless, ask her if she’d like to evolve and gauge her reaction. If she seems interested in that question, form a plan to give her extra training and establish a consistent and daily routine until she evolves. Then reintroduce her to your luxray and see what happens.

If she looks a little more sullen, however, it’s very possible that she simply sees your luxray as a completely different pokémon. Do your best to reassure her that your luxray is still the same as always. If possible, after speaking with her, reintroduce her to your luxray gradually, as if introducing her to a new member of your team. Have your luxray give her a bit of space at first and have them work towards building a new relationship from the ground up. Starting basically from scratch allows her to approach the relationship while feeling less pressure to connect immediately with a pokémon she basically considers to be a stranger, which in turn means she’ll be far less on-edge around your luxray.

If all else fails, however, inform your luxray that she’s letting him down gently and perhaps get a breeding partner for them both. (It’s also possible that your luxio has already taken care of that part or that she has already laid an egg with either your luxray or another pokémon. I would observe her a bit before sitting down with her as well.)

Good luck, anonymous.

The Shinx Line

Shinx
The Flash Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 403
Entry: A small, lion cub-like pokémon of the electric type. Shinx is referred to as the “flash pokémon” because of its the ability to disperse electricity into its fur using the extension and contraction of its muscular system; the tenser its body, the more electricity is pumped into its fur, which means the more its fur sparks and glows. However, it is important for trainers to note that this behavior is not exclusive to fear. Rather, shinx as a whole will do this whenever excited, including when they wish to play with their trainers. Which is to say, if considering training a newly hatched shinx, please be aware that you will be blinded. A lot.

Luxio
The Spark Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 404
Entry: The evolved form of shinx, by battle experience. As a member of the shinx line grows, it gains finer control over its electrical abilities. In its luxio form, it learns to channel electricity into its claws, rather than throughout its fur, and it uses this to deliver powerful electrical shocks to its opponents. Even the lightest scratch from a luxio is potent enough to render even the bulkiest pokémon unconscious. On that note, trainers who are considering raising a member of the shinx line should beware of luxio as well. Luxio, after all, have a habit of kneading their trainers’ laps to show affection, which is a behavior that has occasionally had very unfortunate consequences for more than a few humans.

Luxray
The Gleam Eyes Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 405
Entry: The evolved form of luxio, by battle experience. Luxray are gifted with the ability to see through walls. When its eyes light up and it stares intently at a wall, rest assured that this is normal for luxray and that it has simply spotted potential prey. On the positive side, this is the only strange thing about luxray, as it no longer channels electricity into its fur or claws when excited. On the negative side, if a luxray stares intently at your wall, you most likely have an infestation of rattata or pikachu. That and also, your luxray is very likely to Thunderbolt your wall and anything that happens to be in front of said wall (including, for example, you) without notice.
