Is Lurantis good for anything? I really want to use one, but it looks like it's outclassed by other pokemon in every possible way.
PU bulky defogger + leaf storm + hp fire + synthesis (or weather ball for memes)

>Servine
Being Lurantis is suffering

I used one and it was fairly ok in game but Tsareena is a lot better and more fun to use.
>>30590741
Just put some pink goggles on a Lilligant.
Or get a Tsareena if you have a femdom fetish.
>>30590806
I'm not playing smogon though. I want something for online, maybe the battle tree if I'm feeling masochistic.
I used it in Battle Tree for Trick Room sweeping.

>gets Contrary as HA
>gets a physical version of Solar Beam instead of a physical version of Leaf Storm
Gamefreak really dropped the ball this gen.
>>30590741
The only Pokemon in this gen that have any genuine competitive value are Toxapex, Pheromosa, Celesteela, Oranguru (in doubles), Xurkitree, and the Tapus. A-Marowak is fulfilling a niche in VGC but it'll eventually get displaced.
Everything else ranges from mediocre to utter shit.
Basically, no. Tsareena is pretty good though. Hits hard, stops priority.

CB or Scarf set, Focus Sash + Swords Dance(?)
>>30591057
Mimikyu is good in singles
>>30591066
Too bad its strongest STAB is 70bp.
>>30591066
Tsareena is better, but it's not good enough for the battle tree.
Wasted potential: the Pokemon.
>garbage tier speed and not enough bulk to tank for shit
>gets Contrary but only has Leaf Storm which wastes its only good stat
>gets physical Solar Beam but not Chlorophyll or other options to justify a sunny day build
>conceptualized as a plant that preys on bugs but best option against bugs is Aerial Ace
I don't think I've ever been so salty about Gamefreak completely botching a Pokemon before Lurantis.
It will get Superpower...eventually

In Gen 8 regional variant of Lurantis will be at least okay.
He/She is good for fug.
>>30590966
Why use Trick Room in singles?
>>30590902
you already are masochistic for wanting to try this thing on the Battle Spot
>>30591387
Fucking this, I've never been so pissed off at GF until now
