Lurantis @ LeftoversAbility: Leaf Guard / ContraryEVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 SpDCareful Nature

Lurantis is pretty bulky and with access to Defog and Aromatherapy, it could be a great support. Synthesis combined with Leftovers give it recovery that can allow it to last very Long in battles. Leaf Blade is STAB and is there in case of a Taunt. Leaf Storm + Contrary is an option if you would like the extra power and boosts.

This moveset has helped me alot against other players, especially if they try to hide behind Grass-Types. Enjoy :P

Lurantis @ Scope Lens / Assault VestAbility: ContraryEVs: 150 Atk / 150 SpA / 208 SpeSerious Nature- Leaf Storm- Superpower- Leech Life / Giga Drain- Night Slash / Psycho Cut

The Moves:Leaf Storm is a great STAB move that doubles Lurantis' Special Attack stat thanks to Contrary, making it even stronger. Superpower is also a move utilised well by Contrary, raising the user’s Physical Defense and Attack by one stage each. Leech Life if good for coverage and to regain health with physical damage, and while Giga Drain is slightly weaker, it has STAB; this choice depends on your preference, team, movesets, and battle style. Night Slash and Psycho Cut are there for coverage and the high crit ratio, boosted by Superpower.

The Items:The Scope Lens is good for boosting the critical hit ratio, particularly for Night Slash and Psycho Cut. I personally prefer the Assault Vest, as Superpower can boost Physical Defense, but not Special Defence, so this all depends on whether or not you want to spend time using EVs in defences rather than attack.

Hope this helps at least someone :)

Lurantis @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Leaf GuardEVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpeMild Nature- Sunny Day- Solar Blade- Toxic- Aerial Ace

Personally, I do not like lurantis much. I think Vileplume is a better option since it has a better typing, and a slightly higher base stat. But that’s just me.

Lurantis has coverage, but not much. The totem is annoying it seems, so I gave it a similar set.

Gen 9 RU DefogLurantis @ Heavy-Duty BootsAbility: ContraryTera Type: FireEVs: 252 HP / 196 SpA / 60 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Leaf Storm- Tera Blast- Defog- Synthesis

Lurantis at the time of this post is a good Defog user in Gen 9 RU since it beats hazard setters such as Mudsdale, Palossand, and Whiscash. Lurantis is also one of the few hazard removers of the tier. Leaf Storm is used for the Grass STAB since it gives Lurantis a Special Attack boost thanks to Contrary. Defog is used to remove hazards from the field. Synthesis is used to give Lurantis a form of HP recovery. Tera Blast is nice coverage alongside Leaf Storm since the Tera Type being Fire for this set can allow Lurantis to break past Steel-types.

Heavy-Duty Boots is used as the item to prevent Lurantis from getting chipped by hazards. 252 HP EVs are used for bulk. 60 Speed EVs allow Lurantis to outspeed uninvested Dragalge, Hariyama, Sableye, Perrserker, and Eelektross. The leftover EVs are used in Special Attack along with Modest Nature to give Lurantis' attacks some power.

Okay so I’ve been breaking my head for this but I managed to think of decent moveset or two for this Pokemon since it has crappy speed but here’s a setLurantis @ Flyinium ZAbility: Leaf guardEVs: 252 Atk / 126 Def / 126 SpDBrave Nature- Fury Cutter- Defog- Sunny Day- Solar Blade

I know what you’re think this isn’t exactly the best, but Fury cutter is a pretty good move to have because it lands it gets stronger its maximum power is 160. Defog is a pretty good move as well for getting rid of stealth rocks and some other stuff that it can remove in double battles. sunny day is for it ability and for solar blade. The Flyinium Z is for the defog and it rises its accuracy and lowers evasion by one stage as well do what it does. So yeah that’s the best I can think for right now.

Lurantis @ LeftoversAbility: ContraryEVs: 252 HP / 6 Def / 252 SpDCareful Nature- Superpower- Synthesis- Leaf Blade- Aromatherapy

Superpower is a decently powerful attack, and Contrary causes it to give Lurantis an Attack and Defense boost every time you use it. Lurantis has decent special bulk with investment, and having Synthesis will give it an effective form of recovery. That puts it in an ideal position to abuse Superpower, and in tandem with the Defense boosts Lurantis hopefully won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Leaf Blade is STAB, although let’s be clear that Superpower is the main attack here–you won’t really be using your STAB often because most of the time Lurantis just wants to build up its Attack and Defense with Superpower. To be specific Leaf Blade is mainly needed when Superpower runs low on PP. Similarly, running an extra coverage move is also a bit pointless because that’s time taken away from spamming Superpower. On top of that Lurantis doesn’t really have any good coverage options to speak of. Using Aromatherapy lets it support itself by healing off any burns or toxic poison it might have, and being a specially defensive cleric resistant to Scald is definitely doing it a favor in terms of team support. Aromatherapy also means that it can set up against enemy walls effectively without being too worried as to what they might do.

Lurantis @ Leftovers / Scope LensAbility: ContraryEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDAdamant Nature- Leaf Blade / Petal Blizzard- Superpower- Leech Life / X-Scissor- Night Slash / Poison Jab / Aerial Ace

Leaf Blade and Petal Blizzard have the same power and are both STAB, however, you can go with Leaf Blade if you want the higher critical hit ratio and more support from Scope Lens, or Petal Blizzard for doubles.

Superpower has high power and works really well with Contrary, it allows Lurantis' Attack and Defense to be raised so it can take a couple more physical hits and hit harder.

Leech Life and X-Scissor have the same power, but go with Leech Life if you want more HP restored.

Night Slash, Poison Jab, and Aerial Ace are for coverage. You can go with Poison Jab for the higher power, Night Slash for the higher critical hit ratio and for Scope Lens, or Aerial Ace in case your opponent spams Minimize.

I love Lurantis a lot, but unfortunately it has really low speed. If you want to use a better pure Grass type I suggest going with Tsareena, it has better stats.

Lurantis (F) @ Miracle SeedAbility: ContraryEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDBrave Nature- Solar Blade- Leaf Storm- Synthesis- Sunny Day

You have the Miracle Seed to boost the power of Solar Blade and Leaf Storm. With the Contrary ability, your Special Attack will go up instead of down after using Leaf Storm, making it do more and more damage each time you use it. Solar Blade is Lurantis' signature move, and it’s super powerful. With Sunny Day, Solar Blade doesn’t need the charge-up turn, as well as Synthesis healing more HP. This set works well for any Lurantis! (BTW Lurantis is actually my favorite Pokemon!)

Tag Team LurantisLurantis @ Quick ClawAbility: Leaf GuardAdamant NatureEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD- Growth- Solar Blade- Poison Jab- Leech Life / Synthesis

This is designed to be used with my speedy Talonflame. I am not too concerned with coverage because I only switch in to it if it is strong against the opponent. Talonflame hasSunny Dayand aHeat Rock, which I use at the beginning. Then, I U-turn into Lurantis if the typing is right. If the typing favors Talonflame, then I just use Brave Bird or Flare Blitz.Growth advances two stages in Harsh Sun, Solar Blade executes in 1 turn and does 188 STAB. Poison Jab is a powerful attack that takes out annoying fairies. Leech Life is a great way to heal while doing damage with that killer attack stat. You could also take advantage of Sunny Day with Synthesis. While you only get a 20% chance to go first with Quick Claw, my luck is pretty good with it, andanychance to go first with Lurantis is a win (especially if you are using growth). Leaf Guard once again works well with Sunny Day.

If I was not to use this with Talonflame, it would be: Contrary with Superpower, Leaf Blade, Night Slash/Poison Jab, and Leech Life.

Trick Room Contrary set

Lurantis @ LeftoversAbility: ContraryEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpDBrave NatureIVs: 0 Spe- Superpower- X-Scissor / Knock Off / Poison Jab- Leaf Blade / Solar Beam- Aerial Ace

Superpower- Great power, deals with ice weakness, with contrary +1 in Attack and Defence.

X-Scissor/Knock off/Poison Jab- 3 great physical type moves, Knock off if you want to get rid of the opponent’s item, X -Scissor just because, and Poison jab for fairies who resist superpower.

Leaf Blade/Solar blade- STAB and both are powerful moves, Solar blade if you don’t mind charge, otherwiseLeaf Blade.

Aerial Ace- Deals with bug types and always hits (incase of opponent evasion +)

Lurantis @ Heat RockAbility: ContraryEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDAdamant Nature- Sunny Day- Solar Blade- Aromatherapy- Knock Off

Lurantis is WERY slow, so I give it 252 EV on HP, to help it survive, and make some damage. Sunny Day for Solar Blade, Contary is for this moment, when someone growls at you, before Solar Blade, Aromatherapy to heal your burn (cut Attack) and Knock Off for this moment when you know your opponent have Rocky Helmet.

I use this set in my Sword/Shield team!

Lura (Lurantis) (F) @ Assault VestAbility: ContraryEVs: 252 Atk, 252 Hp, 4 SpDBrave Nature- Superpower- Leaf Blade- Leech Life- Psycho Cut

It is recommended to set up Trick Room before doing this. The Assault Vest takes care of your special defence. Spam Superpower to get your attack and defences up, and if they let you spam on a set-up mon or something, this mantis is literally unstoppable. Under Trick Room, of course. Leaf Blade is an obvious STAB, Psycho Cut is for Poison-types. Leech Life is recovery!

Gen 7

Role: Sun Sweeper

Lurantis @ King’s Rock / Weakness Policy / LeftoversAbility: Leaf GuardEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SpeJolly / Adamant Nature- Dual Chop / X-Scissor / Brick Break / Poison Jab- Double Team / Sunny Day- Solar Blade- Synthesis

With Sun Support

Explanation: The first move slot depends on what type of coverage you want. Dual Chop is for coverage with a nice combo with King’s Rock. X- Scissor is another coverage move but with more Pokemon being weak to it. Brick Break (fighting type) has 5 types that are weak to it, being the most offensive. Poison Jab is for poisoning while dealing a good amount of damage. Double Team is set up, Solar Blade is STAB and Synthesis is healing.It’s best to always use Double Team if possible but if not Sunny Day helps you skip the sun support.
