Strategy Overview
Lunatone has had a rough road since its introduction in ADV. It has a very unique typing, a great ability, and an expansive movepool, but it lacks any exceptional stats with which to abuse its good qualities. Add that to the fact that its typing brings with it a whole slew of weaknesses, the absence of a good special Rock-type STAB, and the fact that Lunatone is directly outclassed by its counterpart, Solrock, and there seems to be little reason to use it all. While Lunatone's lower Attack stat compared to Solrock does make for a weaker Explosion, its higher Special Defense and Special Attack do provide it with a niche in the UU metagame. Play to Lunatone's strengths and the results just may surprise you.
