Luxray is a badass. Ill be running Jolly@ Choice thingy/ Intimidate/ Wildbolt/ Superpower/ Crunch/ Volt Change.
this may be a stupid question, but can't you breed superpower onto a guts luxray? a male luxray with superpower from 4th gen bred with a female guts luxray... wouldn't that work? because if i'm not mistaken, it's been confirmed that DW abilities ARE breedable...
But is superpower an egg move? if it isn't, it's not breedable.
Phione has slightly better defenses, and it isnt used because it is defensively weak. 80/80/80 isn't good unless you have alota resistances like a Steel type.
Luxray does seem to have a (somewhat) viable niche as a wallbreaker this gen, as it can actually break the common Gliscor/Nattorei/Burungel core with a moveset of Wild Charge/Hp Ice/Superpower/filler.
Sucks that you can't have guts but it gets Intimidate which is pretty damn awesome.

They are different. Voltolos immediately dies to a faster electric type, is weak to SR, doesn't have Intimidate utility, has to rely on a 70% accurate move for Blissey/Chansey, needs set-up to 2HKO either of them. All pokemon that can use an electric move/fighting move/ice move are not the same.Voltolos can't do this with Tbolt/Focus Blast/HP Ice?

What common electric types are even faster than voltolos anyway?
ALl I can think of is scarf zapdos, and that isn't very common.
Raikou and Jolteon pretty much outspeed Voltolos, but Voltolos has toys in priority Taunt, Nasty Plot and TWave, etc.
Your choices are a Guts set or intimidate-superpower set. But like last gen you might find this thing having a few niches, so a tank set and wall breaker set might be possible, but they are not the main options.
I was thinking:
Luxray @ Choice Scarf
Adamant (adamant scarfed outspeeds max+ 110)
252spe/252atk/6hp
Intimidate
Wild Bolt
Crunch
Superpower
Volt Charge
I really wish superpower could be used in conjunction with guts. maybe pkmn grey will rectify this little detail? hahaha.
