How do we make Lurantis good?
Give it huge power
Make Solar Blade lower Attack and Speed so now you have an okay physical Contrary user.

Give it Lilligant's stats (but physically oriented), chlorophyll and swords dance.
>>31891600
shell smash
>>31891600
Superpower, Earth Power and Knock Off would fix this Pokemon, and these are all tutor moves
>>31891600
Moves for one
You know that move Hammer Arm? Yeah give it that. Or just Superpower.
And can we talk about that fact that they didn't give it Night Slash or Psycho Cut?
>increase it's speed stat
>give it a useful dual type and some good stab to use alongside it
>>31891608
>Give it Lilligant's stats (but physically oriented)
Doesn't help. Sawsbuck is essentially all of that, but with a secondary STAB that hits everything bar Steel types. Lurantis excels at going mixed with Weather Ball and Solar Blade.
>chlorophyll
Basically all it needs. Maybe +15 Speed too. Would outpace nonScarf Pheromosa under sunlight.
>and swords dance
It already learns it, and is outclassed by Growth under sunlight anyway.

>pure grass type

>mfw you're right
>>31891600
switch it's attack with speed
make Solar Blade not its signature attack so it isn't wasted on it.
>>31892292
>45/80 offenses
What the fuck is Lurantis supposed to do with that?
Give it Superpower.
>>31892306
Go special and abuse Leaf Storm Contrary, which is what you'll most Lurantis doing anyway. It'll be a more powerful, but still somewhat Serperior with less status options, but that's better than what it is now.
>>31892306
That is literally higher SpA than Serperior
>>31891600
Hammer Arm/Superpower.
Wow, I just fixed it!
>>31891655
>Earth Power on All!!!!!
>>31891600
>Give it a second Ability, like Chlorophyll.
>Increase it's base Speed stat by 10 and add an extra 5 to it's base physical Attack stat.
>It should learn some extra moves by Move Tutor, like Earth Power, Knock Off, and Superpower.
>It should also learn Focus Blast and Dazzling Gleam via TM.
Is it now viable enough for a higher tier?
