Strategy Overview
Lunala possesses a small niche in Ubers as a setup sweeper thanks to its spammable STAB move, access to Agility, and good natural bulk courtesy of Shadow Shield. Its Ghost typing allows it to pressure notable threats like Necrozma-DM, Calyrex-I, and some Extreme Killer Arceus. However, Lunala faces direct competition from its fellow Ghost-types, Necrozma-DW, which fills an almost identical niche and is considerably stronger, and Flutter Mane, which boasts a better secondary typing and much better Speed. To make matters worse, even after a Special Attack boost, it lacks the power to get past many common defensive Pokemon in the tier, such as Ho-Oh, Eternatus, Ting-Lu, and Calm Mind Arceus formes. Additionally, Lunala's vulnerability to entry hazards and dependence on Tera to pick up KOs makes it difficult to justify on most teams.
