        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        ⚔️ Raids

        Shadow Luxray is a pure Electric-type Pokémon and one of the best ones at that when it comes to being a raid attacker. This is because Shadow Luxray is a fully evolved Pokémon that is also very attack-weighted. Shadow 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 Shadow Luxray.

        🔮 Dynamax

        N/A

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Shadow 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 Shadow 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.

        Mega Pokémon that boost Shadow Luxray

        Photobomb

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Shadow Luxray's Electric-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Shadow Luxray.

        Electric Electric

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                Catch probability with multiple throws

                In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Shadow Luxray, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                Catch rate formula

                Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
