Strategy Overview
Luxray fits best on offensive and balanced teams as a wallbreaker and an offensive pivot due to its ability Intimidate, which allows Luxray to perform this role decently well. Intimidate is useful to lighten damage taken from physical attackers, and Guts could allow Luxray to absorb Will-O-Wisp or another non-volatile status. Its good physical movepool plus Volt Switch give it an important niche in the PU tier, despite the fact that its modest Speed is insufficient to outspeed many foes and without an Adamant nature the power loss is substantial. Even though Luxray is powerful, it's often outclassed by other offensive Electric-types such as Raichu and Zebstrika due to its lower Speed.
