Shinx (Japanese: コリンク Korinku) is an Electric-type Pokémon.
Appearance[]
It is based on a lion cub or kitten. Its 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-pupiled 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.
In Anime[]
Shinx appeared in Not on MY Watch Ya Don't, as Landis's Pokémon.

Trivia[]
- Shinx English name was actually thought to have been Spinx, due to a low quality screenshot.
- The black collar around Shinx's neck is somewhat similar to the one around Pichu's neck.
- Spinx is unknown to be a Lion(SpINX) or lynx(lyNX the y is pronounced "eh").
- The Shinx evolutionary family can be seen as a comparison to the Mareep family: both Shinx and Mareep can be encountered fairly early in their respective games, and both evolve at level 15 and again at level 30.
- Shinx is the only Generation IV Pokemon with an evolutionary line with 3 Pokemon in it that is never even tried to capture by Ash or Dawn that originated in Generation IV.
- Shinx's name may come from sphinx, which are Egyption statues that had a head of a man, and a body of a lion, being that shinx is probaly based on a lion.
Origin[]
Shinx is based on a lion cub.
