Read more ↓Shinx is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV, first appearing in the Sinnoh region. Known as the Flash Pokémon, Shinx is a quadrupedal creature resembling a lion cub, with bright yellow fur, a black mane-like collar, and a star-shaped tail tip. Its body generates electricity, and its eyes can glow with a blinding light, which it uses to stun prey or signal to its pride. Shinx typically lives in grasslands and Savannahs, often in small family groups led by an adult Luxray. Their diet consists primarily of small insects and other electric-type Pokémon, which they incapacitate with electric shocks. Shinx evolves into Luxio at level 15, and then into Luxray at level 30. In the games, Shinx is a common early-game Electric-type, valuable for its speed and special attack. In the anime, Shinx have been featured in various episodes, often depicted as playful yet powerful creatures. Its design, reminiscent of a lion cub, contributes to its widespread appeal and endearing quality among fans, making it a popular choice for trainers in the Sinnoh region and beyond.
