Lokix is weak to Fire, Flying, Bug, Rock, and Fairy. On the flip side, it's immune to Psychic-type moves entirely. The Bug/Dark typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Lokix leans offensive (base 102 Atk) rather than trying to tank its weaknesses.

Base Stats
Nothing fancy in Lokix's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 2 Attack EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It uses its normally folded third set of legs when in Showdown Mode. This places a huge burden on its body, so it can’t stay in this mode for long.
Lokix Guide
Lokix looks average on paper at 450 BST. But Tinted Lens is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier attacker on our tier list.
Lokix gets Tinted Lens and Swarm. But Tinted Lens is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Lokix is a physical attacker with base 102 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 92 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the attacker role.
The core moveset is Firstimpression, U Turn, Knock Off, and Leechlife. Firstimpression leads at 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since Scarlet & Violet, Lokix has been obtainable in 2 games. A Generation 9 debut means a shorter history, but Lokix has appeared steadily across every generation since.
