Lurantis vs Tsareena
Which is better, purely from a stats/ability standpoint?
>>29936616
Probably Tsareena. Lurantis is just too slow.
>>29936616
They're both garbo In battle.They're for tender loving only.
>>29936616
>Tsareena: 72/120/98/50/98/72
>Lurantis: 70/105/90/80/90/45
Tsareen wins in terms of stats. She also has a better ability (Queenly Majesty vs. Contrary, which Lurantis is outclassed by Serperior at using).
>>29936721
>outclassed by Serperior
That's how you know something is utter shit.
>>29936721
Wow, stats wise its almost strictly better. The only difference is it trades attack to be slightly more mixed. Whoopee fuckin doo. Why did they even bother.
Let's see. Um... Two-stage Grass-type evolutionary family vs. Three-stage Grass-type evolutionary family. I wonder which one is better...

>best stab is base 70 lel

>They're for tender loving only.
Anon please, I will tenderly love both of them as well but I want one on my team, and I only have room for 1 mono grass pokemon.

>>29936721
Wow what the fuck, that's dumb. From what I can see, I'd have to agree that Tsareena is just a flat out better version of Lurantis.
What were they thinking?
Surely Lurantis has some niche over it, right?
>>29936815
Lurantis gets Defog, but that's it.
But Tsareena gets Rapid Spin, so...
>both pure grass
what were they thinking?
>>29936799
too bad its not a bug type,
new leech life would have gave it a niche,
80 bp bug move with half damage dealt as healing would have made it better.
>>29936738
Serperior is great though, where have you been in the last years?
>>29936815
I guess Lurantis is better on a Sun team for Solar Blade alone
>>29936771
Ferrothorn, probably
Leg-themed Mega Tsareena when
>>29938612
Still gimmick as dick. Gamefreak can only make gimmick mons now.
>>29936815
Lurantis gets Contrary and Leaf Storm
That's right - it's this uninspired bullshit again.
>>29939896
They want us to use it in Trick Room, which is very gimmiky considering it's bulk is average and has an ever worse movepool than Serperior.
>>29936616
Tsareena by a mile. Lurantis is a grade A shitmon and not even contrary can save it from that. It'll be the biggest menace of NU though!

>>29936738
Serperior is pretty good, tho.
Tsareena has better stats but Lurantis has a better moveset t.b.h.
>>29936616
I had to debate that as well, looking at the BS, I'm going to run with Tsareena when I get the game.
i caught a male fomantis, grinded it to level 28, had it learn synthesis, bred it with the in-game traded bounsweet, got me a bounsweet with synthesis.

Tsareena has Trop kick, high jump kick and play rough.
Trop kick lowers attack too, so it has pretty good moves.
>>29937213
Its not a bug type because of how awful Grass/bug is.
>>29936815
>Surely Lurantis has some niche over it, right?
Like Nightroc vs Sunroc, it's the more interesting looking and more interesting conceptually between the two so it has to suffer for it.
>>29936616
they both suck but tsareena is slightly better
should have made them both 3 stage and had tsareena be grass/fighting and lurantis be grass/fairy
right now tsareena is just a shitty pure grass physical attacker and lurantis is a worse serperior
they could be fixed with better abilities but somehow gf fucked that up too
>>29943446
They already have 2 grass/fairy in the game.
If they were going with the lure/trick pokemon theme lurantis should have been Grass/psychic special attacker. Since it looks like a bug/fighting physical.
To add to the theme they should have given it some ridiculous coverage moves like aura sphere. If they are going to make a pokemon that is supposed to lure you they should go all the way.
Tsareena is a nice choice for a priority immune scarfer.
Tsareena @ choice scarf
Queenly Majesty
jolly/adamant
trop kick
high jump kick
play rough
u-turn
Will be nice in the lower tiers at least. Maybe with a niche in higher ones if grass terrain ends up being popular.
