Post your Shinx

Need some thoughts on Luxray. Haven’t got one yet, so I thought I get some input on which one to evolve from the ones I got. It would be really cool to evolve the shiny one, but stats aren’t super great tho… Numbers for each are in order: attack, defense, stamina.

Your thoughts?

I’d recommend evolving a 15/15/13 Shinx or the shiny one if you like to have a shiny Luxray.

OK, it would be better to choose the 15/15/13 rather than the 15/10/14?

Is there anything else to consider before choosing which one of those two Mon’s to evolve? Would anything in this Pokebattler article be relevant or not: https://articles.pokebattler.com/2017/11/13/the-0-def-iv-myth/

14/15/15 is even better than 15/15/13

Surely not if the goal is to be using Luxray as an attacker?

Agreed ATK owns STA. But then we are back to the question: is 15/10/14 better than 15/15/13?

no @KlingonKlangon

I think no but honestly I have no idea what defense really does.

It can take more hits, like a Machamp at 2000 cp with a defense stat of 15 can get off a few more hits then a machamp at 2000 cp with a defense stat of 5.

15/15/13> 15/10/14

I would choose 496CP 98%IV one

Some articles mentions that the lesser value for Def makes the energy gained when hit will be higher. Is it absolutely true that 15/15/13 owns 15/10/14 in this particular case? (TDO is higher? DPS is higher?) Assuming no dodging.

i evolved it along time ago. Now i have:
96iv 14/14/15
93iv 15/15/12
93iv 14/14/14
93iv 12/15/15
i think my luxray army is just missing the shundo

Nice, how many Shinx Raids have you done?

Didn’t really keep count. But basically done 1 a day since it was released. At one point was doing 5 a day tho. Still no shiny.

Here’s my pokedex:

@5GodLink, nice, did you drive around looking for Shinx raid daily since it’s released?

Thats the only raid i focused on. Other than my Ex location. Yes i was hunting shinx on a daily basis.
