When it decides to fight all out, it stands on its previously folded legs to enter Showdown Mode. It neutralizes its enemies in short order.
It uses its normally folded third set of legs when in Showdown Mode. This places a huge burden on its body, so it can’t stay in this mode for long.
Lokix Scarlet & Violet Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, Lokix looks average on paper at 450 BST. But Tinted Lens is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier attacker on our tier list. Firstimpression with Choice Band is the standard set.
Lokix gets Tinted Lens and Swarm. But Tinted Lens is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Lokix is a physical attacker with base 102 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 92 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the attacker role.
For Scarlet & Violet, the core moveset is Firstimpression, U Turn, Knock Off, and Leechlife. Firstimpression leads at 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since Scarlet & Violet, Lokix has been obtainable in 2 games. A Generation 9 debut means a shorter history, but Lokix has appeared steadily across every generation since.
