Luxray is popular Electric-typed Pokemon. It's pretty standard to see Luxray show up as a X/Y opponent. Luxray's only type-related weakness is Ground.
Luxray is a notable Physical Sweeper. It attempts to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. White Herb will reset Luxray's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Superpower). Flame Orb will burn Luxray at the end of the turn which will activate Luxray's Guts ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Guts, if Luxray is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Luxray a sweet boost.
♦ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Luxray is burn/poison/paralyzed). ♦ Frustration is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at minimum happiness). ♦ Wild Charge is a physical STAB-boosted 90-base power Electric-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Spark is a physical STAB-boosted 65-base power Electric-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Superpower is a physical 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Luxray's attack and defense by 1 stage). ♦ Double Kick is a physical 30-base power Fighting-type move (hits 2 times in one turn). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Luxray this turn).

Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
