Strategy Overview

Lurantis differentiates itself from other entry hazard removal options, since if it's let ignored, it can quickly spiral out of control and become difficult to switch into or take a hit from thanks to Contrary boosting Lurantis's stats as it goes for Leaf Storm and Superpower, which together allow Lurantis to tear through all hazard setters, including Regirock, Orthworm, and Sandslash. It also finds ample opportunities to come in with its mono-Grass typing, helping it switch in against common threats such as Jolteon, Rotom-Mow, Lanturn, and Whimsicott. However, these moves along with Synthesis come with low PP, often leading to Lurantis being stalled out by walls like Articuno and Dipplin, and Lurantis is not as offensive as it wishes to be without prior boosts. Even with its good resistances, Lurantis can find itself overwhelmed if it's being attacked on the defensive stat that it didn't invest in. For example, Snorlax can 2HKO specially defensive Lurantis with Heat Crash, and physically defensive Lurantis is vulnerable to Whimsicott due to how its Choice Specs Moonblast always nets a 2HKO. On top of that, its typing also lets it down quite often when facing down many top threats, such as Charizard, Glastrier, Hisuian Sneasel, and Vikavolt, and Lurantis can be forced to heal constantly with how easily it's chipped down by switching into foes that often use pivoting moves like Rotom-Mow, Lanturn, and Jolteon.
