Questions people ask

Is Luxio good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Luxio has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Luxio?
Luxio has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex and any of the special variants below, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Luxio a good raid attacker?
Luxio ranks #189 of 248 electric attackers with 8.0 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Luxio be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Luxio is available from evolution, photobomb, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
Is Shadow Luxio worth keeping?
Shadow Luxio hits 20% harder and takes 20% more damage. It has no ranked role of its own, so treat it like a normal copy.
