Luxray is only 1 of a very very very small handful of physical attackers on Electric Teams, thanks to Choice Band he is absurdly powerful, and with Guts, he's an absolute monster. Zapdos will almost always be ran as a wall, so, its often baited into status (especially Toxic), that'll wear it down quite a bit. Luxray is the perfect switchin to punish status abusers! Wild Charge is the main STAB, while it does have recoil, its pretty difficult to switch into unless your part Grass or Ground type. Superpower is amazing for Electric, since Chansey tends to give Electric Teams problems (and often Porygon2). It has the ability to nearly OHKO Chansey, and 2KO Porygon2 (and if statused, a lot more powerful). Crunch helps for great neutral coverage, and to help vs Mew (which Zapdos would not want to get burnt by, repeatedly switching in to Defog hazards away). The last slot, I prefer Ice Fang so you have a way to check Gliscor, but, Quick Attack is also an option since its pretty aye ok priority. I feel Luxray makes a fantastic partner to Zapdos, and really protects/punish mons that wish to status is, something Rotom-W cannot do.
