Without Swift Swim, Lumineon wouldn't see any competitive play. With it? It doubles its Speed in rain, turning modest base stats into a real offensive threat. Water is solid coverage on top of that. Only weak to Electric and Grass.
An unusually even spread gives Lumineon flexibility. Speed barely edges ahead. But HP isn't far off. Moderately hard to find and follows a standard growth curve. Yields 2 Speed EVs.
It lives on the deep-sea floor. It attracts prey by flashing the patterns on its four tail fins.
To avoid detection by predators, it crawls along the seafloor using the two fins on its chest.
Lumineon Weakness
GoodElectric and Grass-type moves hit Lumineon for super-effective damage. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Storm Drain grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 69 HP and balanced defenses, Lumineon can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
Evolved from Finneon. Lumineon is the final form in this two-stage line. No compatible partners for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are average hatch time. Sp.Def grew the most through evolution (+25 over Finneon), and Lumineon peaks at 460 total stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Lumineon to get Finneon eggs easily from the Water2 egg group. Notable egg moves include Agility, Aqua Tail, Aurora Beam and 8 more.
The build revolves around U-turn for safe pivoting. Stormdrain and Leftovers support Lumineon's hit-and-run approach, with flexible EVs EVs making sure each pivot actually threatens. Utility options adds versatility.

Don't skip the egg moves. Lumineon picks up Agility and Aqua Tail only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Surf and Aqua Tail while coverage across 8 types adds range.

Step 2Lumineon ✓
Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Lumineon. The 460 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot.
Finneon evolves into Lumineon at level 31. Lumineon is the fully evolved form. It sits at 460 BST in its evolved form.
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 leaning toward the physical side (base 69 Attack). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.
