>>31324278Lanturn can use Soak, which is a type changer.
Unfortunately, it's an egg move, but it's really useful.
Whatever type the opponent, soak can change their typing to water.
So they lose their STAB, steel/poison pokemon become vulnerable to poison, ghosts can be hit by fighting moves, grass and electric moves become super-effective, etc.
Competitively, it makes a lot of people switch out.
It's also good for double battles when you use it on your own Pokemon if they have a bunch of weaknesses or a 4x weakness you want to get rid of.
But you lose that same-type move boost.
Launturn has a large health pool, tool.
So you take a lot of hits and be an asshole with statuses or chip away at their health.
>tl;drIt can know soak.
Makes pokemon weak to grass and water.
Changes their type to water; you can poison steel and poison types now.
You have electric moves.
Lots of hp.
