Base Stats
There was an era when it was overfished due to the rumor that having one of its heart-shaped scales would enable you to find a sweetheart.
Luvdisc makes its home in coral reefs in warm seas. It especially likes sleeping in the space between Corsola’s branches.
Luvdisc Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
Honestly, in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Luvdisc is a tough sell at 330 BST. Plenty of stronger Water options exist. Fun pick, not a practical one.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Luvdisc. The 330 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Toxic with Leftovers 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
Available in 14 titles since its debut in Ruby & Sapphire, Luvdisc spans 8 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in a solid number of games.
