Luxray (Japanese: レントラー Rentorar) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Luxio starting at level 30. It is the final form of Shinx.

Biology

 
Luxray's x-ray vision from its point of view

Luxray is a quadrupedal Pokémon resembling a fully-grown lion. While its face, hind legs, torso, and the back of its front legs are blue, much of its body is covered with shaggy, black fur. The fur is longer around the shoulders and the base of the tail, and forms a mane on its head. The mane is larger on the male than on the female. It has yellow eyes with red sclerae, a blunt muzzle, and rounded ears with yellow insides. There are three yellow, half rings on the back of each foreleg. Its long, thin tail is tipped with a yellow four-pointed star.

Luxray has powerful eyesight that is capable of seeing through most objects and walls, like X-ray vision. It uses this ability for hunting and keeping track of its offspring. However, this ability requires a lot of electricity to use. As a result, Luxray needs to sleep for long periods of time in order to store up more energy.

Other

Luxray made its main series debut in Luxray Vision!, under the ownership of Marble. Having recently evolved from Luxio, it was unable to use Electric-type moves and had a serious attitude problem for most of the episode.

In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, a hypnotized Damos commanded three Luxray to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Luxray again to attack Arceus.

In The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!, Volkner used a Luxray in a Gym battle against Ash. It went up against Ash's Grotle before the match was called off when the lights went out. In The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!, it was used during Ash's rematch against Volkner. It battled and defeated Pikachu before losing to Infernape's Blaze-fueled Flame Wheel. It reappeared as a silhouette in a fantasy, in JN065.

In I Choose You!, Sorrel‎‎ was revealed to have befriended a Luxray during his childhood. It died trying to protect Sorrel from the cold.

Trivia

  •  Luxray is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 523.

Origin

Luxray resembles an adult male lion or lynx. It may have also been inspired by the mythical sphinx, as its short face, human-like ears, and lion-like appearance are similar. In addition, it may have been inspired by the constellation Leo, due to Luxray's lion-like appearance and the fact that it and its pre-evolved forms bear a signature star shape on the end of their tails. Its evolutionary line may represent the growth of the human body with Luxray representing the adult stage. Furthermore, its Japanese name suggests at least some minor influence from tigers.

Luxray's ability to see through solid objects is similar to a modern radiograph or "x-ray machine", explaining the basis for its name and Electric typing.

Name origin

Luxray may be a combination of lux (Latin for light), x-ray (referring to its x-ray vision), and lynx.

Rentorar may be derived from レントゲン rentogen (discoverer of x-ray radiation), 虎 tora (tiger) and rar/rawr, meaning a roar-like sound.

Zekrom (Japanese: ゼクロム Zekrom) is a dual-type Dragon/Electric Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Zekrom is the game mascot of Pokémon White.

Along with Reshiram and Kyurem, it is a member of the Tao trio, which exists in the legends of the Unova Region.

Zekrom fuses with Kyurem using the DNA Splicers to become Black Kyurem.

Biology

 
Zekrom in Overdrive mode

Zekrom is a black, bipedal Pokémon resembling a dragon or dinosaur, with dark patches on various portions of its body. It has red sclerae, white irises, and black pupils, as well as a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout. Its head sports a thundercloud-like crest tipped with light-blue coloration. There are six pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, two in the upper jaw and four in the lower. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding. The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower length of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. Its knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels. When its emotions surge, it enters Overdrive mode and its tail lights up with a blue light.

Zekrom's tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion. This tail produces energy for its attacks and emits an anti-gravity field, allowing Zekrom to fly through the air with minimal effects from aerodynamic resistance and gravity. It can cause several thunderstorms in one area, and it normally hides in thunderclouds. In an Unovan fake story about the twin heroes, Zekrom sided with the younger brother who sought ideals. According to one fake story, Zekrom uses its lightning to annihilate kingdoms of people who have lost the righteousness in their hearts. It is a genderless species. It is the only Pokémon that can learn Bolt Strike, though it is commonly associated with the move Fusion Bolt.

Trivia

 
Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010
 
Zekrom in Pokémon Battle Chess
  • In games prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Zekrom has a catch rate of 45. This is likely due to it being a required capture during the storyline of Pokémon Black and White.
  • Zekrom was first revealed simultaneously alongside Reshiram on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
  • On May 31, 2010, two weeks prior to the official revelation of Zekrom's type, Shōko Nakagawa spoke about her love of Electric-type Pokémon on her blog and mentioned that because of that, she wanted to get a Zekrom. This statement was then quickly removed.
  • Zekrom's Attack and Defense, and Special Attack and Special Defense are the reverse of Reshiram's.
  • Zekrom has the highest base Attack and base stat total of all Electric-type Pokémon.
  • Zekrom is the heaviest Pokémon introduced in Generation V and the heaviest Electric-type Pokémon.
  • Zekrom, as well as Reshiram, made an appearance alongside Pikachu and a Poké Ball in 2010's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
  • Zekrom is Ken Sugimori's favorite Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White.[1]
  • In the Generation V games, Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem use different variations of the same battle theme. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, however, Zekrom's version (featuring electric sound effects) is used for all three Pokémon.
  • Zekrom appears in Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version. Alongside Reshiram, the player must lose a specific number of pieces (three in Zekrom's case) to use it, and it takes four spaces on the board.

Origin

Zekrom and its counterpart Reshiram are based on the concept of yin and yang in Taoism, directly referenced by Zekrom's Japanese species: the Black Yin Pokémon. According to Ken Sugimori, Zekrom was designed to have a tougher and more masculine design to contrast to Reshiram's light, airy, feminine design. While the black design matches Zekrom's yin species names (yin being characterized by dark), its masculine design contrasts with yin (yin being characterized as feminine). Zekrom's tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric turbine.[2] Additionally, Zekrom has a more mechanical, man-made appearance, which contrasts with Reshiram's organic appearance.

Appearance-wise, it somewhat resembles a mid-sized to large theropod dinosaur, such as Allosaurus or Tyrannosaurus, and a European dragon. The crest on its head seems to be based on a thundercloud. The fake story about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian fake belief of two equally powerful creatures, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness.

Name origin

Zekrom is derived from 黒 kuro (black). Ken Sugimori has also stated that Ze was used because it was a harder, stronger sound than Reshiram's Re, and Zekrom is a "powerful, strong character."[3]
