I'd go Adament, adds to it's already beaut Atk stat while taking away from it's piss poor Sp Atk
Although Jolly (+Spd, -Sp Atk) could also be used to make Shinx/Luxio/Luxray slightly faster
Also this sort of thread belongs in the Strats and Movesets forum, just a little note for next time

It's Special Attack isn't horrible but it's Attack is still a lot better. Why not just stick with using it's Attack since it's naturally higher? I agree with Angelic Diablo, go with Adament or Jolly. If you need a moveset try what sanjay said but instead of Thunderbolt try Firefang.

Well I go by the theory if the Attack rating is better, then use physical, therefore no need for Sp Atk so Adament tends to work for me...
piss poor might have been a bit over the top, I mean there is still a lot worse it can do

To quote myself on my Why Charmbreon is not Hera Bait rant, "Let us crunch some numbers".
Max Attack Adamant Luxray Spark:
On max HP/Def positive Skarmory: 39-45%
On max HP/no Def neutral nature Aggron: 19-23%
On max HP/max Def positive nature Probopass: 19-22%
On max HP/min Def neutral nature Probopass: 25-29%
On max HP/max Def positive nature Weezing (most will run a little less than this): 19-23%
Min SAttk, neutral nature Luxray Thunderbolt:
On max HP/no SDef neutral nature Skarmory: 79-93%
On max HP/no SDef neutral nature Aggron: 43-51%
On max HP/max SDef positive nature Probopass: 17-20%
On max HP/no SDef neutral nature Probopass: 22-26%
On max HP/no SDef neutral nature Weezing: 39-47%
So it's better to use Thunderbolt on the physical walls you'll be facing as soon as you bring Luxray in. With Probopass, it depends on the EV spread. You might want to put some EVs into SAttk to reach the 2HKO on things like Aggron who will otherwise lol and EQ you.
