If a Luvdisc is left on its own, it becomes despondent, leaving itself open to attack. That is when Pelipper snatch them up.

Strategy Overview
Sadly, there is no reason to use the unviable Luvdisc over other Water-types such as Ludicolo, Kabutops, and Omastar. While it has a nice ability in Swift Swim backed with a nice Speed stat, it lacks the firepower to make use of it, often making it dead weight. It also sports a pitiful bulk, leaving it vulnerable to common priority moves, such as Mach Punch and Sucker Punch.
