So, my question is that: is it a Luxray viable in competitive play? The fact is just that I'm obsessed with that Pokemon, I love the design and even my first TCG deck is built around it (I'm absolutely new to that game, btw). So, I grabbed the idea of a Luxray with an adamant nature, Guts, flame orb and facade as its main damage dealer. In theory, it seems like a good idea.
But I'm aware of some problems: it would result in a glass cannon and there are better pokemons for that, it's not as fast as other electric types yet not as slow to include it in a Trick Room team, it would need a ton of misdirection, healing or protection options from a very good tank but I can't resolve who's better for that purpose (I've thought Clefairy, but I'm not super sure)...
So I just post it for your consideration and let me know if it's viable or if I just need not to be blinded by my love to that pokemon.
