Shinx

() is an -type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. 
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shinx's fur is mostly blue, yet there is black fur under its torso. It has a long black tail with a gold four-pointed star on the end. Its forelegs each have a gold ring around them; these are electricity glands, similar to Pikachu's cheeks. It has large, oval ears with gold, star-like symbols on them. It has gold eyes, and a pink-red nose. It has tufts of hair which will eventually grow into a mane. Whenever its mouth is open, small fangs can be seen developing.
===Gender differences===
A female's mane doesn't stick up as much as a male's. Also, all four paws of a female Shinx are blue while the hind-paws of a male are black.
===Behavior===
Although Shinx is a tenderhearted Pokémon, they detest being betrayed.
In the wild, if a Shinx's claw is damaged, it loses the ability to communicate with the others and will be isolated from its pack.
When its tail tip shines brightly, it can send signals to its kind through shaking its tail. 
===Natural Abilities===
Shinx can generate electricity through contracting its muscles, which can make its fur glow. 
===Habitat===
Most Shinx live in the forests of Sinnoh, although there're also a minority of them living in Lumiose City, the sewers and power stations of Kalos.
==Evolution==
Shinx evolves into Luxio once it reaches level 15, and evolves into Luxray once it reaches level 30.

===Origin===
Due to its slightly human-like features on its head (face, ears), name, and resemblance to a lion cub, Shinx maybe based on the Egyptian sphinx, which are Egyptian statues that had a head of a man, and a body of a lion, with additional traits of lynx kittens and lion cubs. The star at the end of its tail is a reference to the constellation Leo.
===Etymology===
Shinx may come from shock, shine, and lynx.
