Lumineon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Lumineon. The 460 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Scald with Leftovers is the standard set.
Swift Swim is what you want on Lumineon. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Storm Drain, Water Veil) work on paper but Swift Swim is what makes Lumineon worth using.
Base 91 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Lumineon is a mixed attacker with base 69 Attack and 69 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Scald, Defog, U Turn, and Toxic on Lumineon. Scald is the most common pick at 0% usage. Scald provides reliable STAB damage.
