Lurantis Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Contrary changes the entire equation for Lurantis. The 480 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Superpower with Leftovers is the standard set.
Contrary is what you want on Lurantis. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Leaf Guard) work on paper but Contrary is what makes Lurantis worth using.
Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Lurantis is a mixed attacker with base 105 Attack and 80 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Superpower, Leafblade, Knock Off, and Leaf Storm. Superpower leads at 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Lurantis joined the series in Sun & Moon and has been available in 4 titles so far. With 4 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
