They form packs, each having one male as leader. Legends say that when Luxray's two eyes shimmer with gold, the Pokémon can see through anything.
Legends: Arceus
Seeing through solid objects uses up a lot of Luxray’s electricity, so the Pokémon sleeps for long periods of time to store up energy.
Shield
Luxray can see through solid objects. It will instantly spot prey trying to hide behind walls, even if the walls are thick.
Sword
LUXRAY’s ability to see through objects comes in handy when it’s scouting for danger.
HeartGold · SoulSilver · Y · Alpha Sapphire
It can see clearly through walls to track down its prey and seek its lost young.
Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2

Pearl · X · Omega Ruby
It has eyes that can see through anything. It spots and captures prey hiding behind objects.
