Lilligant Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, 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 an attacker. Quiver Dance with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, 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 Own Tempo and Leaf Guard, but they don't compare.
In Black 2 & White 2, Lilligant fills the attacker role. It's a special attacker with base 110 Sp. Atk. Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Black 2 & White 2, run Quiver Dance, Petaldance, Giga Drain, and Hiddenpowerfire on Lilligant. Quiver Dance is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
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.
