Intimidate or Rivalry for Luxray?
Dec. 9, 2017If my Luxray had Rivalry and held an expert belt, the power of all it’s super effective moves would increase by 1.45 percent ( assuming the opponent is the same gender as you).
For example, the move Spark- has a 30% percent chance of paralyzing - would go from a base power of65to a base power of94, outclassing the move Wild Charge.
Intimidate is awesome against ground types, but Rivalry has some good perks as well.
Please help me make up my mind!

Intimidate. Why? Because while the power boost from Rivalry is good in theory, you’ll also be doing half as much damage to Pokemon of the opposite gender at the same time. And considering the randomness of Pokemon genders… yeah. The only way I can recommend Rivalry is if you use it on a gimmicky set with Attract as well. Hope this info helps you decide.
