PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Electric Attacker:
Spark
Wild Charge
⚔️ Raids
Luxray is a pure Electric-type Pokémon and a rather great one at that when it comes to being a raid attacker. This is because Luxray is a fully evolved Pokémon that is also very attack-weighted. Luxray can use its immense attack stat to fight against Flying and Water-type raid Pokémon.
As an Electric-type raid attacker, you want the move combination of Spark and Wild Charge on your Luxray.

Luxray has not yet been a strong Pokémon for any of the open leagues, and this should come as no surprise considering it’s a very frail and glassy Pokémon. However, it is worth mentioning that Luxray does have a history of success in certain limited metas and community-run challenges, typically running the move combination of Snarl, Psychic Fangs, and Wild Charge.
