Luxray's Type

Agreed, that'd make Luxray that much more powerful.
I remember a ROM hack did just that... I think it was BlazeBlack2/VoltWhite2

SHINX IS ADORABLE

 

Maybe because of its pre-evolution. Remember that almost all the Dark Type have their pre-eveolution with s sinister looking. But if you look at Shinx..well...you will see my point.

For example in the case of Skorupi, it is an scorpion and have a little sinister looking while its Mega evolution, looks completely sinister

 

I absolutely agree that Luxray should be electric/dark. That would give its Crunch a great boost, and hopefully would also give it some good moves to go with that typing like knock off.

I like luxray, but their movepool is kinda shallow, especially since there aren't many good physical electric attacks aside from wild charge, and that makes you take recoil damage.

 

@[member="Darkest Ninja"] I disagree. Look at Shiftry line. Seedot looks about as sinister as Skitty. Nuzleaf looks as sinister as an Elekid. Shiftry looks as sinister as fuzzy caterpillar covered tree. Eevee looks as sinister as a puppy. Umbreon is as sinister as a normal black dog. So I agree, Luxray should be dark.

 

Luxray being Electric/Dark would make more sense. Most likely won't happen though, unless GF randomly decide to give it a Mega Evolution

 

Luxray should've been electric/dark imo. I object to its current typing! I just think it would be that much better with STAB Crunch. It will add more weaknesses, but it would be really cool.

 

Well...if you read my entire text you will find the word ALMOST.

"Remember that almost all the Dark Type have their pre-eveolution with s sinister looking"

 

At least Shinx is intimidating. If you believe every ability you see.

 

The stab crunch is a big boost as well as psychic immunity, and with the guts boost he might be viable in OU. Seems like he should have the dark

 

I actually agree that Luxray should be an electric/dark type. The way it looks and the fact that it looks so mysterious in the dark can actually bring out that dark-type of it. Not only that, it can learn some dark-type moves as well. (For example, it can learn night slash (by egg move) snarl and theif by TM, and crunch by leveling up.)

 

Whilst that makes sense, design wise, it'd conflict with Luxray itself. First off, the first part of Luxrays name is lux, which is a unit used to measure light levels. Luxray is essentially light ray. I suppose it may make more sense in Japan for it to be part dark, as dark is actually Aku, or evil, in Japan.

All in all, I feel the type combo'd be cool, but it's a conflicting type with what Luxrays name means.
