Not with 45 Speed it can't.

Same goes for most other Alola mons. You gotta wonder what the hell they were thinking.

Even in Hackmons it's basically worthless.

That'd definitely give it an interesting niche.

You've got to wonder if "Z-Powered Forms" like Lillie talks about are gonna be the thing in the next games.

Because Alola mons are all so universally average (except for legends and the Kanto mons) that it really seems like GF are holding out on us.

Just why the fuck did Gamefreak not give it Chlorophyll or Solar Power so that it can use it's new signature move? Instead it gets Contrary which only benefit one move, on it's weaker offensive stat, and is completely outclassed at that role by another existing pokemon.

Depends what you mean by salvaged. In its current state, no. With access to move tutors, no. With a signature z move, no. With a normal mega, no. With a beedrill style min-max job, maybe. It's real bad.

+20 points in Speed too. It'll only end up with 500 BST, which is shared by shit like Rapidash.

Give it Close Combat, at least then it wouldn't be outclassed by Servine.

And Showderp swept an Ubers team with Simisear.
Still doesn't mean the pokemon isn't shit competitively or salvageable.

That's hardly comparable though. Showderp battles mostly against the lowest of low ladder opponents . OUPL is a big shot tournament with highly experienced players.
Lurantis is still shit though

It can only be saved by a complete retcon of its stats and abilities.

Instead of GF being stupid and making this a pure grass type pretending to be a bug pretending to be a flower it should have been a pure fairy type pretending to be a bug pretending to be a flower. Make it murderous with scythes (high attack and speed) instead of "beams" and maybe it would've been at least a little more usable with pixilate or some other "fairy" ability. Serene grace maybe?
