In Legends: Arceus, 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. Quiver Dance with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.

What is Lilligant weak to?

In Legends: Arceus, 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.

What is the best ability for Lilligant?

In Legends: Arceus, 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.

What role does Lilligant play in battle?

In Legends: Arceus, 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.

What counters Lilligant?

For Legends: Arceus, Lilligant has answers, but so do you. Priority moves (Mach Punch, Aqua Jet, Ice Shard) bypass its speed. Bulky walls that resist its STAB also shut it down.

I suspect that its well-developed legs are the result of a life spent on mountains covered in deep snow. The scent it exudes from its flower crown heartens those in proximity.

Legends: Arceus Lilligant Best Moveset
