Lunatone Black 2 & White 2 Guide
For Black 2 & White 2, it depends on your team. Lunatone at 440 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Rock/Psychic coverage might be exactly what you're missing.
In Black 2 & White 2, Levitate changes the entire equation for Lunatone. The 440 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Ice Beam with Choice Scarf is the standard set.
Levitate is what you want on Lunatone. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind.
Base 70 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Lunatone is a special attacker with base 95 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Available in 14 titles since its debut in Ruby & Sapphire, Lunatone spans 8 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in a solid number of games.
