#096 - Aquilux (aquila + lux)
Golden Pokémon
Light/Flying-type

A royal pokémon that has been a symbol of nobility since ancient times, it uses bright light and air attacks to blind and overwhelm opponents. Other pokémon find them snooty and overbearing.

The Light-type is of course based on light from the sun, stars, electrical and firelight, etc. but also the full elecromagnetic spectrum-- i.e. radiation. It's also based on the fantasy of purification, celestial beings, and divine justice. Light attacks can cause the Blinded status effect (BLN), which sharply decreases accuracy, although some pokemon are not affected.

Currently in my notes I have the following type effectivenesses:

Attacking: 2x vs Dark, Ghost, Cosmic; 0.5x vs Fire, Grass, Steel, Crystal, Light
Defending: 2x damage from Ground, Dark; 0.5x damage from Fire, Electric, Fairy, Light, Cosmic

The Light-type will never happen in the games since they've gone and made a Sun and Moon pokemon without introducing it, but it's fun.
