Species

Half-Luminarians are individuals who carry Luminarian genes but do not fully present as a Luminarian.

Full Glowchu

Half Glowchu

Look at how the black markings on the Half-Glowchu are still unique and unlike a standard Pikachu, but don't have a glow color on top of them.

Masterlist Examples

with Chocolate and Dark Sclera

with Extra Markings and Prism Dye

• Half-Glowchus (Half-Luminarians of the ‘chu line) still present with non-standard markings but they do not have the unique Glow color that would normally accompany them. Their eyes, cheeks, and fleshy bits (inner mouth/tongue, paw pads, etc) would be colored as if they did have a glow color (and thus would traditionally be a mix of the parents’ glow colors, where applicable) but these parts do not actually glow as they would with a full Glowchu.
• On Half-Glowchus, the black markings must be black in order to remain Traditional. Coloration traits such as Chocolate, Other, etc can also apply to Half-Luminarians.
• They are often born from one parent being a Luminarian and the other being normal or half; the genes can, however, remain hidden for generations, though it’s somewhat rare. It’s also uncommon for two full-blooded Luminarians to produce anything other than full-blooded Luminarians.
