Luvdisc Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
Honestly, in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Luvdisc is a tough sell at 330 BST. Plenty of stronger Water options exist. Fun pick, not a practical one.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Luvdisc. The 330 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Healpulse with Razorfang is the standard set.
Swift Swim is what you want on Luvdisc. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Hydration) work on paper but Swift Swim is what makes Luvdisc worth using.
Base 97 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Luvdisc is a special attacker with base 40 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Fragile, can't afford to take many hits. Best used as a pivot.
Game Availability
