Luxray

Luxray holds a 0% singles usage rate with no rank recorded. Its base stat spread of 80/120/79/95/79/70 looks threatening on paper, yet 70 Speed leaves it outsped by nearly every relevant offensive threat, and its main Electric STAB, Supercell Slam, is walled entirely by Ground-types that dominate the tier. Intimidate offsets the mediocre physical bulk, but the Ground weakness neutralises that advantage. Nothing in the kit distinguishes it from other Electric attackers.

Doubles usage sits at 0.05%, ranked 217st, putting Luxray on the format's fringe. Intimidate at 98.6% defines its role: a pivot that drops opposing physical attackers' Attack on entry and enables partners through Helping Hand and Supercell Slam coverage. Shuca Berry (27.5%) and Wide Lens (22.4%) as top items frame it as a utility pivot rather than a wallbreaker. Superpower at 10.8% gives it a credible answer to Steel-types that switch into its Electric STAB, which matters in a meta saturated with heavy-steel defensive cores. Wide Lens pairs naturally with the accuracy-hungry Supercell Slam and Ice Fang coverage, which both sit at 23.2% and 9.1% respectively in singles and remain staples here.

Playstyle：Luxray functions as an Intimidate pivot, not a damage dealer. Supercell Slam (12.2%), Superpower (10.8%), and Ice Fang form a coverage trio aimed at Steel, Ground, and Flying switch-ins respectively; Helping Hand (11.8%) boosts ally output from partners like Mega Staraptor or Mega Charizard X. The Adamant 252/4/17/0/13/0 spread (22.9%) prioritises one-shot power over longevity, framing Luxray as a hit-and-run threat. Wide Lens is the operational prerequisite that pushes Supercell Slam from an unreliable 75% to a workable 87% accuracy, and Shuca Berry preserves its Ground weakness as a one-time survival tool rather than a liability.
