Why do people like this thing? We already had a praying mantis pokemon.
You can't fuck a scyther
>>30983255
Scyther has a dinosaur head.
Also, did we have an orchid flower pretending to be an orchid mantis pretending to be an orchid flower? No. That's why it's cool.
>>30983255
Because it's a neat design, and you can have more than one Pokémon based off a species.
>>30983255
Because it's cute.
But it's also a shitmon(Contrary, but is a Physical mon.)
And it's lacking the Bug-type that makes it make sense.
(But that avoids 2 4x weaknesses.)
So overall, 90% love, 10% hate.
>a praying mantis pokemon
3 actually, all of which (even Leavanny) decidedly less effete than Lurantis
>>30983255
>praying
It's preying you retard. And its a cute species
>>30983524
It actually is "praying" though, as in the way their front limbs are almost "joined" as if in prayer. "Preying" would be obvious considering they're carnivores.
>>30983269
fuck you I do what I want
>>30983269
Git Gud you fucking casual.
>>30983524
You should probably know what the fuck you're talking about before calling people "retards." Because you look really, really stupid right now.
Because Scyther is ugly as shit.
>>30983281
It's using mimicry. Lurantis is 100% flower, so no, the bug-type wouldn't make sense. The only Bug-type Pokémon that are not insects or arachnids are Shuckle, which is a combination of endoliths, scale insects, and mollusks; and Shedinja, which is the shed husk of another insect.
We had this thread yesterday you faggot
>>30983255
Lurantis is a plant pretending to be a bug
>>30983281
Lurantis is a reverse Orchid mantis
Orchis Mantis is a mantis pretending to be a flower
Lurantis is a flower pretending to be a mantis
It has a robe, that little green stem sticking out her "claws" are her actual hands
>>30983255
Waifufags accept literally everything thrown at them
I like it because of the leaks.
>>30983487
Leavanny isn't a mantis.
>>30983255
It's got clown pants. End of statement.
>>30983487
Levanny is not a mantis. Whats with people associating a caring pokemon with the most blood lust insects in the kingdom?
>>30983862
>maid lurantis will never be a real thing
>>30984349
>>30983255
Because it's cute. That's literally it.
How can you look at this face and say "I hate it"?
>>30984434
Leaf mantis is cute! But yeah it's behaviour does not fit any bug really
I want to lick Totem lurantis's foot
>>30983255
Waifubait
>>30984349
It's quite literally a Choeradodis Mantis you fucking retard.
>>30984930
It doesnt have a yellow face or red eyes you retard
>>30984978
Neither do Phylliidae. Leavanny also stands upright, like a mantis, and guess what its front limbs are shaped like.
Day 35: they still do not realize I'm a plant
>>30984930
Looks nothing like one
cutest pokemon this gen
>>30983255
because im perfection
>>30985108
>Leavanny also stands upright, like a mantis
That doesn't prove anything really. What if it's body build is anthropomorphic because it's meant to convey a nanny/childminder? Why would they design a MANTIS of all insects to be a "child caring" figure? A leaf insect/Phylliidae would make more sense as they're herbivorous.
