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.

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.

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 (+60), bringing the total to 480 stats.

Quiver Dance is the main STAB option after a Quiver Dance boost. Sitrus Berry gives Lilligant a one-time health recovery at low HP to survive the setup turn, and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs make the boosted hits count. The remaining moves catches resists.

Best Build

Legends: Arceus uses different battle mechanics.

Competitive build content is not applicable for this game. Select a main series game for builds.

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.

Lilligant doesn't appear wild. Catch Petilil instead, it shows up at decent rates. Evolve it through a special method to get Lilligant. The 2-stage line is mapped in the step cards below.

  • 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.

  • Watch for Volcarona (Fire), Lapras (Ice), and Roserade (Poison) when using Lilligant. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Flying and Bug-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Petilil evolves into Lilligant using a Sun Stone. Lilligant is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Petilil. At 480 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Lilligant appears in 9 games, including Black & White, Black 2 & White 2, and X & Y.

Lilligant first appeared in Black & White and spans 9 games across 5 generations. It later gained a Hisuian form in Generation 8, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
