Biology
Luxio is a feline, quadrupedal Pokémon resembling a young lynx or lion. Blue and black fur cover most of its body. Its ears, face, hind paws, and front half of its body are blue, while its hindquarters are black. Additionally, Luxio has a tufty black mane surrounding its face. The mane is longer on the male Luxio, while the blue coloration on the hind paws extends to the ankles on the female. The insides of its rounded ears are yellow, as are its eyes. There are two yellow rings around each front leg and a yellow, four-point star on the tip of its tail.
When facing an opponent, Luxio extends its claws in preparation, which can unleash 1,000,000 volts of electricity. Even a slight scratch from these claws is enough to cause fainting. Besides for attacking, Luxio also uses its claws to communicate with others of its kind, by resting them on the others' forelegs and sending electrical pulses through them. Luxio live in small groups and are able to generate powerful electricity by gathering the group's tails together. Luxio are known to be kind enough to share the spoils from a hunt to its own kind.
As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Luxio is often observed sleeping peacefully. It is believed that Luxio feel a sense of safety due living in small groups. On occasion, Luxio releases electricty from its claws while it slumbers. Researchers uses the rhythm released by the electric pulses to study Luxio's dreams.

In the mangaIn the TCGTrivia
- Luxio is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 363.
- The official Japanese Pokémon website (Pokémon.co.jp) has a picture of Luxio on its HTTP 404 error page.[1] This may allude to Luxio's National Pokédex number, 0404.
Origin
Luxio and its evolutionary relatives seem to be based on the constellation Lynx, as well as the lynx in mythology, which medieval bestiaries sometimes depicted as a lion-like creature. Resembling an adolescent male lion, it may also be based on the neighboring constellation(s), Leo and/or Leo Minor.
Name origin
Luxio may be a combination of lux (Latin for light) and leo (Latin for lion).
