Spark Pokémon · Electric-type

![Luxio official artwork](https://pokee.si/img/art/404.webp)

Luxio is a [Electric](https://pokee.si/types/electric)-type Pokémon, the Spark Pokémon, number 404 (#0404) in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation 4 and comes from the [Sinnoh](https://pokee.si/guide/regions/sinnoh) region. It is 0.9 m tall and weighs 30.5 kg.

Luxio is the Spark Pokémon, a young lion whose claws can discharge 1,000,000 volts, and the Pokédex says a light scratch is enough to make a foe faint. For all that, it is gracious, sharing the spoils of a hunt with its group.

## Lore

### Biology

Luxio is 0.9 m tall and weighs 30.5 kg. Its front half is blue and its hindquarters are black, with a tufty black mane around its face, longer on the male. It has round ears with yellow insides and two yellow rings around each foreleg, and the tip of its tail carries a four-pointed yellow star. When it meets an opponent, it extends its claws ready to fight.

### Behaviour

Luxio lives in small groups and talks to its fellows by resting its claws on their forelegs and sending rhythmic electric pulses through them. Joining tails with another Luxio lets it receive some of that Luxio's electricity to power up its own blasts. Pokémon Sleep says researchers study the rhythm of the pulses it gives off while sleeping to learn about its dreams.

### Habitat

The Pokédex gives no habitat. In Scarlet and Violet it lives in South Province Areas Three and Five, and in The Teal Mask across Kitakami, including Fellhorn Gorge and Timeless Woods.

### Powers

Luxio has the same Abilities as Shinx: Rivalry and Intimidate, with Guts hidden. Spark, Discharge and Wild Charge channel the electricity in its claws, and Crunch backs them up. With base Attack 85 and Special Attack 60 it hits harder with its claws than with ranged blasts.

### Name origin

Luxio may blend the Latin lux, 'light', with leo, 'lion'. The Japanese name is Luxio (ルクシオ).

### Design inspiration

Luxio resembles a young lynx or lion. The star on its tail may nod to the constellations Leo or Leo Minor. These are fan readings.

### Evolution notes

Luxio evolves from Shinx at level 15 and into Luxray at level 30.

### In the games

Amp Plains is bossed by the Luxio Tribe and Luxray in Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, though Explorers of Sky swaps them for Manectric and the Electrike tribe. Luxio debuted in Diamond and Pearl, and in Scarlet and Violet it appears in 3-star Tera Raid Battles, and it is not available in Legends: Z-A.

### In the anime

Clemont revealed in 'A Campus Reunion!' that he had befriended a Shinx long ago, and he caught the Luxio it had become. Luxio's series debut was 'Leading a Stray!', where it helped a Wailmer trapped in the sewers get back to the ocean.

### Fun facts

- On the official Japanese Pokémon website, Luxio appears on the HTTP 404 error page, a nod to its National Pokédex number, 404.
- Luxio's base stat total of 363 is shared by no other species, Bulbapedia notes.
- In Pokémon Adventures, a Luxio with broken claws cannot communicate with its group and is shunned by them until Pearl befriends it.
