I adore lurantis. I just wish it had been designed different in terms of usability.

In gen 4 Game Freak signed a contract that said they must introduce an utterly shit pure grass type in every gen. First it was Carnivine / Cherrim, then Maractus, then Gogoat, and now this.

If it had 70 base speed with Chlorophyll and some actual moves it could have been a beastly sun sweeper.

I never understood the appeal of it. It's design is okay and it's movepool's fine, but its just a worse Tsareena. Not one of my least favorites, but I'm not really a big fan of it either.

Probably my favorite Alolamon. Would never use in competitive but I had some success with it in-game and it's fun to use in TCG.

Does it have any sort of niche in battle?

The only move that contrary works with is Leaf Storm and it's special movepool is literally only grass attacks.
If you want coverage you have to use Hidden Power (which is almost never better than just using Leaf Storm), Nature Power with Terrain (at which point you might as well just use grassy terrain and stick with Leaf Storm), or fucking Weather Ball.

Good design, horrifically bad stats. It's fucking useless, and would require a complete overhaul to be even remotely usable. Fucking Game Freak.

Cherrim-Alola (Lurantis) (F) @ Quick Claw
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Leaf Storm
- Giga Drain
- Nature Power
- Hidden Power [Fire]

best it can do so far, can't even learn air slash or extrasensory from breeding
quick claw unironically leaves it a chance to remove some mons and av lurantis is really a shit meme

being serperior's bff is the best it can offer, everything else is compensed by either luck or retarded opps ;^)

shiny lurantis also should have used either scyther or leavanny green shades

i hope it gets buffed next gen.
meanwhile, leaf storm+ giga drain+ aromatherapy+ defog are ok i guess, if the build is a buky one.

No, because your opponent was retarded and both of you were below 1100 on the ladder.
You want to showcase Lurantis? Use it in the proper tier with a serious team
