Lilligant's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Sp. Atk trails, 2 stats clear the bar. Moderately hard to find and worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The fragrance of the garland on its head has a relaxing effect, but taking care of it is very difficult.
No matter how much time and money is spent raising it, its flowers are the most beautiful when they bloom in the wild.
Flying, Fire, Ice, Poison, Psychic, and Fairy moves hit Lilligant for super-effective damage. Flying hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Flying |
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Ice, Poison, Psychic, Fairy |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Water, Electric, Grass, Ground, Rock, Dark |

Lilligant doesn't evolve through normal leveling. You'll need an evolution item to get here from Petilil's line. Breed this form to get Petilil eggs (average hatch time). Evolving from Petilil gave Lilligant the biggest boost in Speed (+75), bringing the total to 480 stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Lilligant to get Petilil eggs using 89 partners from the Plant egg group.
Quiver Dance is the main STAB option after a Quiver Dance boost. Leftovers gives Lilligant passive recovery each turn to survive the setup turn, and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs make the boosted hits count. The remaining moves catches resists.

Moves
Without TMs, Lilligant's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get Normal and Flying coverage and more on top of Leaf Storm and Solar Blade for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.
Level-Up Moves
TM Moves
Egg Moves
Tutor Moves
Reminder Moves
Lilligant develops a solid moveset just through leveling. Energy Ball and Leaf Blade show up naturally, and the progression handles both STAB and utility without leaning on TMs for the core attacks.
Without breeding, Lilligant misses out on Healing Wish and Ingrain. That's 4 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Leaf Storm and Solar Blade, with Normal and Bug coverage rounding things out.
Without breeding, Lilligant misses out on Bide and Charm. That's 10 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Leaf Storm and Petal Dance, with Psychic and Normal coverage rounding things out.
You'll want mid-game access before hunting Lilligant. Low spawn rates across 10 encounter spots means the location matters. Sort by Best below and target the top-rated area first.

Step 2Lilligant ✓
Don't let Lilligant's 480 base stat total fool you. Chlorophyll is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a sweeper.
Watch for Braviary (Flying), Volcarona (Fire), and Lapras (Ice) when using Lilligant. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Braviary is the most dangerous since Flying moves deal 4x damage. Poison, Psychic, and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
Run Chlorophyll on Lilligant. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Lilligant also gets Hustle and Leaf Guard, but they don't compare. With base 105 Speed, Chlorophyll gives Lilligant an edge before opponents can react.
Lilligant fills the sweeper role. It's a physical attacker with base 105 Attack. Base 105 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Run Quiver Dance, Giga Drain, Terablast, and Alluringvoice on Lilligant. Quiver Dance is the most common pick at 20% usage. This set covers the sweeper role with a mix of damage and utility.
Lilligant first appeared in Black & White and spans 9 games across 6 generations. It later gained a Hisuian form in Generation 8, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
