Shinx, the Flash Pokémon, is the featured Pokémon for the Pokémon Go November 2021 Community Day. We can expect to see an abundance of players using Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray. So the question is, how do we put ours on the list of the best ones? The answer is simple: by picking the right moves!
This evolution line is full of Electric-type Pokémon with no additional types, so it's a good idea to focus on those types of moves. Most of the attacks for these Pokémon will be the same, but it's possible for the best moves to change during weather boosts or when the Pokémon evolve.
Note: Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray are all boosted by rainy weather.
Best Movesets
| Pokémon | Best Weather Boost Moveset | Best No Weather Boost Moveset | DPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Darkrai | Quick Attack: Spark Charge Attack: Discharge | Quick Attack: Spark Charge Attack: Thunderbolt | Weather Boost: 7.29 No Weather Boost: 6.96 |
| Luxio | Quick Attack: Spark Charge Attack: Wild Charge | Quick Attack: Spark Charge Attack: Wild Charge | Weather Boost: 11.47 No Weather Boost: 10.14 |
| Luxray | Quick Attack: Spark Charge Attack: Wild Charge | Quick Attack: Spark or Snarl Charge Attack: Wild Charge | Weather Boost: 16.24 No Weather Boost: 13.63 |
Spark is the best quick attack for this evolution line, but Snarl can be used for Pokémon that are weak to Dark attacks. During a weather boost for these Pokémon, you will want to stick to Electric attacks to deal maximum damage, especially to Dragon/Flying!
That's all you need to know for the best movesets for Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray!
