Damn. I'm torn between two Pokemon. I want a shiny, but I'm torn between having the endgame a shiny luxray, or shiny staraptor. Thoughts?

I'd go for Luxray because it's lightning and has bite for use against psychic pokemon. I do have a Luxray and a Staraptor in Diamond though, and I can tell you that the Staraptor kicks so much more ass.

Anyway, for what it's worth, Luxray's a bit more metal than Staraptor but Staraptor isn't that far behind and might end up stronger.
