Luxio Legends: Arceus Guide
At 363 BST, Luxio is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Luxray before bringing it to any serious fight.
In Legends: Arceus, Luxio's biggest threats include Golem (Ground), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Luxio gets Intimidate, Rivalry, and Guts. But Intimidate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Luxio is a mixed attacker with base 85 Attack and 60 Sp. Atk. Fragile, can't afford to take many hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
In Legends: Arceus, For a casual playthrough, Luxio works as a placeholder. Electric coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Luxray. That's where the stats start mattering.
