Strategy Overview
Lunatone has an interesting typing and a decent ability in Levitate but struggles to carve itself a notable niche in NU. It has low physical bulk, leaving it vulnerable to the Normal- and Flying-types that most other Rock-type Pokemon check with ease and also increasing its weakness to Pursuit trapping. It is mostly outclassed by the likes of Metang, Golem, and even Solrock, as they all beat a greater variety of threats. However, Lunatone distinguishes itself by being one of the best counters to most variants of Charizard, as it can take hits from them and hit back with a super effective STAB attack, while also having access to reliable recovery.
