Unless she gets insane min/maxed stats and solid coverage she will be garbage. The only hope for her I see is if they make her kind of like Weavile or Aerodactyl, very fast physical pokemon with a good support movepool. But I don't see them giving her a lot of speed.

At this point just hope for a good HA to save her.

>>29068833

Lurantis is super cute

>>29068833
Even if it had a descent speed tier (around 328 or above) and access to a fighting type move for coverage, it will most likely end up being overshadowed by Virizion. And while you could argue the former is better for not having a psychic and huge flying weakness, it's most likely not going to have a good bulk.

At this point the only hope is it having access to a good HA or egg move. I'll be just another good in-game mon to have around.

Chlorophyll/Solar Power + insane speed/attack and either an incredible movepool or enough bulk to survive a Brave Bird are all that Can save it.

Unless it gets some HA that buffs slashing moves, and it learns Dragon Claw, X-Scissor, Leaf Blade, Night Slash, and Sacred Sword. And it has high attack and speed to back that up.

Serperior got blessed with a good ability

Depends on her stats

Her entire gimmick is a physical solar beam with Solar Blade but the distribution could be many

So it entirely depends on her stats and abilities

Leaf Guard is a garbage ability unless your running a sun team

127 speed + accelrock

lmao, this thing is gonna have 480 BST at the MOST and it's a fucking grass type.
It will have a negative movepool.

Mono grass is actually better than grass/bug because it doesn't gain 2 x4 weaknesses as well as a rock weakness. Let me propose a VGC viable Lurantis though.

BST: 495

75 HP
100 ATK
60 DEF
65 SP. ATK
60 S. DEF
135 SPE

HA: Friend Guard

Notable moves: Fake Out, Aromatherapy, Quick Guard, Sunny Day, Glare, Leaf Blade

Honestly just giving something friend guard and a fast fakeout makes it useful in VGC considering the next best friend guard user is fucking Clefairy.

>>29069267

I got some hope for Bewear and Mudsdale just based on their abilities. If they are matched up with good stats and/or moves they seem like they could be really great

>>29069031
This is bait right? Unless this thing has an elder god-tier ability like Serperiour it's going to be a NU shitmon that gets boxed as soon as you have it registered to your dex. But it's probably going to have chlorophyll or something like that.

Physical grass Pokémon with high BST for a non-Legendary.

I could see Lurantis getting Chlorophyll. In which case it would be okay under sun with its physical Solar Beam.

>>29069753
Not much. Serperior is still the only extremely good grass type. Roserade already has decent coverage and is still really niche. Liligant will never be a good enough quiver dancer to go above RU since Volcarona and Vivillion are just way better at it.

>>29069832
>Roserade already has decent coverage
>No way to deal with Steel, or Fire Pokemon.

>>29069180
Salandit final evo seems to have a lot of potential, being able to poison Amoonguss, Ferrothorn, heatran, klefki, metagross and Venusaur can be quite powerful

>>29069832
Liligant would at WORST be UU if it gets Earth Power. It fixes literally all the problems the poor little thing has.

>>29069270
Clefairy are cute

>>29069180
Pyukumuku is a free kill wildcard, it's going to be UU at worst but still see occasional usage in OU.

>>29069915
You do realize that Roserade gets Technician Hidden Power right?
That's a 90 BP move of any typing.

>>29070944
>Pyukumuku is a free kill wildcard

No it isn't, your opponent isn't a retard and they can just 2HKO it or simply use sub first.

>>29070255
Earth power solves most of grass type problems, also power gem or stone edge, but very few grass types get stone edge and have to resort to rockslide and without lo rockslide often doesn't nail the ohkos.

>>29070944
It's literally just choice scarf ditto: redux

>>29068833

Oh shit you're right and it actually has good special attack. Although you're missing out a natural cure to help you out of a potential paralysis I guess.

>>29070965
>your opponent isn't a retard
reminder that this is showdown we're talking about

Either way I don't agree. You wouldn't send out Pyuku at the start of a turn, it's something that you switch into and is there for the mindgames. If your opponent incorrectly predicts a switch and goes for a weaker attack, but you don't switch, you have the advantage for that turn.

Corrosion is a cool ability but it's kinda pointless when you're also part fire type.

>>29071241

To be fair we don't know a damn thing about its gender outside of screenshots and videos, using a pronoun other than "it" to describe Lurantis at this point is just pure waifufaggotry and should be treated as such.

And don't make us pull out that Pokemon advertising bible.

HP: 50

Poppmaid if water/fairy garunteed to be here. Jamango-o's evo especially if it's steel like I think it could be. Type:Null, Magearna. Ninetails if it's the ice type with over 100 speed and special attack we deserve if not, not.
>UU
Salandit evo, Eggy
>RU
Lycanroc, Bewear (it'll have no movepool so to speak), Vikavolt, Rai, Turtonator

Special mention to pyukumuku/evo for being a dittoesque gimmick that'll be viable in all tiers but never have usage to be anything but PU.

>>29071407
I doubt it will be protean levels of good, but it has priority and great coverage still potentially makes it a very scary pokemon, and having to guess between protean and fake mega could lead to a charizard situation, where the unpredictability and differences of the two options makes both that much worse to deal with.

>>29068833
It's colours remind me of bacon strips.
