Strategy Overview

Lurantis has a niche as a Trick Room attacker with its low Speed and the capability to snowball damage with the combination of Superpower and Contrary, boosting its Attack and Defense every time it hits. Contrary also gives Lurantis Attack boosts from Intimidate, making opposing Incineroar hesitant to switch in. With Trick Room being essential for Lurantis to be effective, bulky Trick Room setters like Porygon2 and Diancie work great as teammates. Tapu Fini also works well as a partner, as it can set Misty Terrain to prevent Luratis from getting burned by Will-O-Wisp from Mew and checking Fire-types like Heatran. Dragapult, meanwhile, can check some of Lurantis's greatest threats outside of Trick Room, outspeeding and OHKOing Landorus and Naganadel with Draco Meteor when they would otherwise OHKO Lurantis with Sludge Bomb. Lurantis's main downsides are its mediocre stats and need for boosts from Intimidate or Superpower to be particularly threatening—which can make it difficult to justify using over other Pokemon—and reliance on Trick Room. Even with Trick Room active, Amoonguss can move before it and either take away its stat boosts with Clear Smog or do heavy damage with Sludge Bomb.
