Strategy Overview

With its high HP and good Special Defense, Lanturn is a viable Electric Pokemon counter. Lanturn is also really annoying to kill in general, especially in UU matches. Volt Absorb repeatedly zaps it back to high health, and it keeps on dishing out status and some damage. Definitely worth trying.
