Luxio gets Intimidate, Rivalry, and Guts. But Intimidate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Luxio is a physical attacker with base 85 Attack. Fragile, can't afford to take many hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
