Lilligant Evolutions
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. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
USUM Lilligant Best Moveset

The fragrance of its flower differs slightly depending on the soil where it grew up. Sniffing the aroma calms your heart and mind.
It’s well liked by other Pokémon because of its beauty. The flower on its head needs constant care, or it will soon wither and rot.
Lilligant Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 pivot. Quiver Dance with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Lilligant fills the pivot 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Quiver Dance, Giga Drain, Sleep Powder, and Leech Seed on Lilligant. Quiver Dance is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot 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.
