Between Chlorophyll and Grass typing, Lilligant carves out a strong competitive niche. It doubles its Speed in sun, which gives it an edge most Pokemon in its stat range don't have. Known as the Flowering Pokemon.
Lilligant's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Atk leads, Attack 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.
